Our commitment to respond
We respond to local needs and work with not-for-profit and charity partners to make a difference to local communities, through skills-based and hands-on activities.
A great range of initiatives are organised across our network of offices in EMEA, including career-readiness and financial education workshops, as well as charity fundraising events. We also take part in volunteering activities and are proud to engage in Mizuho's global Mizuho Volunteer Day, an annual opportunity for employees to give back to their communities.
We are committed to developing our positive impact on society, and here are some of the ways we raise funds, and give our time.
Meet our charity partners
London | Little Village
Colleagues in London are delighted to support Little Village, a network of baby banks across London supporting families with young children under the age of five living in poverty. They do this by collecting, sorting and passing on pre-loved donations – everything from beds and buggies to toys and clothes – as well as toiletries and other essentials. Other than donations, our colleagues are active in participating in fundraising events for Little Village, from quiz nights to challenging hikes.
Amsterdam | NL Cares
Our colleagues in Amsterdam are proud to have partnered with NL Cares since 2017. Working together helps us connect with members of our local community that may need extra support, including children and young people in disadvantaged situations, the elderly, migrants, the homeless, and people with disabilities. Our work with NL Cares not only enables us to actively support people through volunteering activities, it helps broaden our view of the world.
