Citi employees actively leverage their professional skills and experience by volunteering their time directly to non-profit and non-governmental organizations supported by Citi Canada and the Citi Foundation. Supporting employees as they volunteer to make a difference in their communities builds stronger teams, fosters company loyalty and has a positive impact on the communities in which we work. We offer traditional and skill-based volunteering opportunities that exercise the enthusiasm and professional expertise of our employees.
Citi launched a new Citi volunteer program, hosted by Benevity, that enables all employees to seek out and register for volunteer opportunities in their area and track their volunteer hours. This application is intranet- and internet-based so that employees can log in to view or sign up for events and submit hours — personal or work related — either at work or remotely.
Active and qualified employees are encouraged to take a paid day off from their job each calendar year to volunteer for the eligible organization of their choice. Employees may use this day for any charitable activity at a registered charity or a school. In 2020, 292 employees across Canada used their volunteer day, compiling more than 2,500 hours in volunteer time to support dozens of community organizations.
