Russell Investments remains committed to giving back and supporting our associates in their efforts to do so.

Russell Investments makes corporate contributions to organizations that align with our giving pillars, enhance strategic partnerships, and focus on our communities.

Our "Spark!" program matches associate giving and volunteer hours and provides each staff member with time off for volunteer activities. The Global Community Engagement Council aligns the efforts of our Associate Resource Groups (ARGs), ensuring genuine focus on people and improving the quality of life, especially in communities where associates live and where we do business.

Foster culture of inclusion

Russell Investments has a Corporate Social Responsibility Council whose purpose is to foster a culture of engagement, inclusion, and development amongst Russell Investments associates. Through sponsorship of global Associate Resource Groups (ARGs), Community Engagement, well-being, and Social Councils, the CSR Council sets the overarching associate engagement and inclusion strategy and oversees its execution, ensuring Russell Investments continually works to attract, develop, and retain the best talent.

Each ARG is open to all associates. ARGs include:

  • Black Associate Resource Group
  • Disability+ Associate Resource Group
  • LGBT & Allies (LGBTA) Associate Resource Group
  • Veterans' Associate Resource Group
  • Women's Associate Resource Group

Under the CSR Council structure, we have a Global Community Engagement Council, a Global Sustainability Work Practices group, and regional Social Councils who all collaborate with our Associate Resource Groups on programming and initiatives.
