WHY THOMSON REUTERS TAKES PART IN #GIVINGTUESDAY

It gives them the chance to encourage employees to get involved with their local communities in ways that suit them

As a large global company with offices in over 100 countries #givingtuesday is a great campaign to align Thomson Reuters messaging and remind people of the volunteering and giving programmes available.

They also use it as an opportunity to celebrate and thank their employees for everything they’ve done throughout the year to support local and global efforts, whether they’ve volunteered, fundraised or organised events as part of their roles leading Thomson Reuters employee networks.

WHY THOMSON REUTERS VALUES #GIVINGTUESDAY AND THEIR PLANS

Last year, Thomson Reuters donated their Jumbotron screens in Canary Wharf and New York and launched a 24 hour log-a-thon

A 24 hour log-a-thon was launched to encourage employees to log their volunteering hours and share their stories of how they use their volunteering time, encouraging stories of how charities are innovating and thinking differently to create a social impact. Thomson Reuters also created and shared a video of all the community investment activities that their global employee networks get up to through the year.

THE OUTCOMES

What Thomson Reuters achieved:

2,470 volunteering hours

During the 24 hour log-a-thon 234 employees logged 2,470 volunteering hours.

237 matching gifts or volunteer grant requests

There were 237 new matching gifts or volunteer grant requests from 129 employees!

Thank you messages

Over 200 personalised Thank You messages were sent to employee network leads across the globe.

#givingtuesday has become part of our Community Investment culture at Thomson Reuters, across the globe our employees use the day to support the causes they’re passionate about through our programs and activities
