Community
We support the communities in which we operate and encourage our employees to do the same. We have a continued focus on employee-led charitable giving and encourage payroll giving, as well as supporting employee fundraising efforts through matching. Employees in many of our offices can also take paid volunteering leave and apply for time matching for any volunteering they take part in outside of working hours.
Environment
We are committed to minimizing the environmental impacts of our operations and to delivering continuous improvement in our environmental performance. Further information on our activities in this area can be found in the annual CR Report.
Our economic impact
At Schroders we are committed to conducting our tax affairs in an open and transparent way. Our global tax footprint is driven by a number of factors including the locations of our people and our clients and corporate tax rates and rules in these locations vary significantly. We apply a consistent global approach to allocate profit to the territories in which it is earned, in line with OECD principles.
