CIMD group solidarity day
December 2nd, 2009: V CIMD GROUP SOLIDARITY DAY
The
Solidarity Day (in the first week of December) is the
CIMD group's most important act of solidarity. It is
created as an on-going act and consists in giving ALL the commissions
generated that day, both in cimd av and intermoney valores sv, to
a group of NGOs selected by the group's Board in January of the following
year.
In 2005, its first year, the
contribution was of 120,000 euros and the money was given to five NGOs
working with children.
Furthermore, in the CIMD
group there are other actions related with this activity that
range from the Agreement with the Loyalty
Foundation to "solidarity" information that is regularly
put on the group's intranet, and that informs the staff about voluntary
activities in the Madrid Community, as well as news related to NGOs that
have contacted the Communication department.
Corporate Social Responsibility
All the people that belong to
the CIMD group are characterised by a strong social commitment
and a desire to work to help the most underprivileged people.
The CIMD group understands
CSR as a set of positive contributions that are made to underprivileged
sectors and constitutes a commitment to the development of our society.
This commitment with the most underprivileged people is seen as something active, coherent and involved with the group's business activity, with strong ethical principles, an effort to innovate and a constant will to work of all the people that form CIMD. CRS is aimed at responding to a need in society and is included in the CIMD group's corporate principles. It means a basic and differentiating element of the social perspective within financial companies.
