Northern Trust employees around the world took part in the financial industry's second Charity Trading Day on Friday, raising more than $1 million for four charities.
The Chicago-based company's signature month of service will see a total of $700,000 donated to the charities: Global Red Cross and Red Crescent Network, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), War Child, and World Central Kitchen.
In the coming year, Northern Trust employees and clients will donate thousands of volunteering hours in support of a number of the charities' projects across the globe.
The global effort, led by Northern Trust Asset Servicing, aligns with the company's long-term community investment strategy to support those who have been marginalized with more opportunities to achieve long-term financial success, per a press release.
