2019 was a special year for Citi in Canada.
Our 100th year of doing business in Canada provided a unique opportunity to engage with our employees, clients and communities to learn about our history and what makes us different and to celebrate and thank all those who helped write our story. It was a memorable year, full of excitement about the future.
Citi’s roots in Canada date back to 1919. Currently, the company employs approximately 2,000 people, with offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Toronto and Mississauga. Citi is one of the most global financial services organizations in Canada, with access to Citi’s far-reaching network in 160 countries and jurisdictions.
Citi’s key strategic focus in Canada is to continue to enable progress and help our clients succeed through these major lines of business: Banking, Capital Markets and Advisory; Citi Markets and Securities Services; Citi Private Bank; Citi Treasury and Trade Solutions; and Citi Cards Canada. Canada is also home to the Citi Solutions Centre in Toronto, a large technology development site that serves Citi businesses and clients globally.
We recognize that the challenges communities face are complex, and to enable progress no single organization can do it alone. Citi collaborates with public agencies and community organizations to develop innovative and scalable solutions that help families achieve financial empowerment. Citi provides its employees with a number of internal programs and opportunities that encourage participation and engagement in all our charitable endeavours.

2019 was a special year for Citi in Canada.
Our 100th year of doing business in Canada provided a unique opportunity to engage with our employees, clients and communities to learn about our history and what makes us different and to celebrate and thank all those who helped write our story. It was a memorable year, full of excitement about the future.
While 2019 marks the end of our first 100 years, it also marks the end of a decade that saw us fundamentally change our business globally and here in Canada. In the past 10 years in Canada, we have made a number of changes to our business mix that capitalized on our strengths and helped propel us forward.
Citi’s citizenship efforts in Canada have grown as much as our business over the last decade. We now support our communities across Canada with nearly $1.5 million in funding and more than 5,500 volunteer hours. Our ‘more than philanthropy’ approach continues to position Citi as an innovative thought leader in the community.
In this report, you will find the details of our efforts in 2019, from our philanthropy and volunteerism to the unique facets of our operations and what had guided us as a global leader, a community champion and a trusted partner in progress over 100 years.
Thank you for taking the time to review our contribution.
