Giving back
Helping others is part of who we are. Through our global programme of volunteering and fundraising activities, we support and boost awareness of some of the most pressing issues our planet and communities are facing.
Our people across the globe are passionate about making a positive impact. From community-sponsored events and creative fundraising initiatives to skills-based volunteering, our support for charities, communities and individuals remains unwavering.

The Howden Foundation
In our commitment to sustainability, we hold a fundamental belief that a thriving business must prioritise the wellbeing of people, communities and the global environment – both now and for future generations.
One of the ways we do this is through our corporate foundation, the Howden Foundation, an independent registered charity with a mission to protect people from the social and economic impacts of climate change. Since 2014 we have financially supported the Howden Foundation, enabling it to address some of the most pressing challenges humanity faces.
