Community Development
Invesco Ltd. is committed to responsible corporate citizenship
and encourages employees to play active roles in the growth and
development of the communities in which they live and work.
By donating time, energy and other resources, the Invesco
team supports a variety of local and international programs for
the arts, education, sports, the environment and charitable
organizations. Highlights from the past year include:
- AIM Trimark is a national partner for Big Brothers Big Sisters
of Canada and the annual Bowl for Kids' Sake event.
Employees participate in these programs and other charitable
activities year round, including Habitat for Humanity builds,
Play Day and Jeans Days.
- Invesco Aim employees have worked hand in hand with Rebuilding
Together Houston since 1992, providing home repair services
for low income, elderly and disabled Houstonians. In 2006
a crew of Invesco Aim volunteers, including family members and
friends, came together to revitalize the home of an elderly
Houston woman.
- The Invesco Atlanta Community Service Committee selected
eight local charitable organizations to assist during 2006. Atlanta
associates participated in several volunteer opportunities, and
various employee events raised funds for these organizations,
each of which received a monetary donation. Invesco Perpetual
employees took up a fencing duel to raise money for cancer
research. Members of the Invesco Perpetual UK equity team
completed the Octopus Super Challenge Cycle-a-thon to assist
charities such as Cancerbackup, the Shooting Star Children’s
Hospice and charities in the local Notting Hill area. Invesco
employees in Asia-Pacific supported local charitable initiatives
by taking part in a charity run, bike ride and dress special day,
with all donations going to charitable organizations in support
of local community services.
- Atlantic Trust supports nonprofit organizations in the firm's
local communities across the U.S., both through professionals
who volunteer their time and expertise, as well as through
sponsorships.
