Corporate social responsibility

We are passionate about improving social mobility through access to higher education and levelling the playing field for entering our industry. We believe that this serves an important purpose for individuals and society as well as creating fairer, more robust and a more representative investment industry.

Therefore, our charitable giving is focused on enhancing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion through creating opportunities for disadvantaged individuals in the key markets in which we operate. In particular, we focus on:

Secondary education and university access
Succeeding at university
Entry into employment and beyond, thus widening access to our industry

Our focused approach enables us to provide more than just financial capital, allowing us to leverage the expertise of our colleagues to build stronger relationships and make a bigger impact. We believe that this is highly beneficial for all sides, with many of our colleagues mentoring young people and dedicating time to making these valuable contributions which in turn enriches their experience of being part of ICG.
