Corporate responsibility
At Russell Investments, we are committed to exceptional standards of corporate responsibility. We believe everything we do must benefit our stakeholders: from clients, employees and shareholders to those in our local and wider communities. Through the engagement and development of our employees, corporate giving, volunteering, and practicing sustainability in our places of work, we help to improve the quality of life of those who are part of Russell Investments and the people in our cities and neighborhoods that surround us.
Community engagement
We are committed to working together to help improve the lives around us.
OUR GIVING PILLARS
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.
Associate Resource Groups
We believe that associate engagement and inclusion drives better outcomes for our clients.
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.
Russell Investments encourages multiple ARGs to create and facilitate programming for associates that will continually celebrate and promote the development and engagement of our talent.
ARGs include:
- Women’s Associate Resource Group
- Black Associate Resource Group
- LGBT & Allies (LGBTA) Associate Resource Group
- Veterans Associate Resource Group
- Disability+ 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.
Sustainable work practices
We believe that a mindful and efficient workplace fosters greater productivity, sparks innovation, and drives long-term success.
The Global Sustainability Work Practices Group empowers employees to enhance efficiency, promote responsible practices, and support initiatives that drive lasting positive impact. By encouraging mindful decision-making and continuous improvement, the group helps create a more adaptable, resource-conscious workplace that benefits both employees and the broader community.
