Accelerating progress
When our clients, employees, investors and communities succeed, so do we. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues affect us individually and collectively, so we work in a way that minimizes our own environmental footprint and helps make a difference for the people and communities we serve.
Across our business lines in 2022, we supported our clients in their navigation of the evolving ESG landscape, offering investment solutions and reporting tools along with products to meet the wide and growing range of client needs, while managing ESG efforts within our own operations.
State Street Foundation: A platform for change
State Street Foundation focuses our philanthropy and grant-making on promoting economic opportunity by reducing equity gaps in educational achievement and employability. Providing unrestricted grants to support the core functions of organizations whose missions, activities and strategies align closely with our funding guidelines enables our grantee partners to determine their spending priorities. To complement our strategic grant-making, the Foundation also offers a Matching Gift Program in which our employees can monetize their volunteer service and match their donations to charitable partners, helping us create a more equitable world.
Empowering our teams to give back
State Street Volunteers encourages employees to strengthen their communities through volunteering. Whether it’s collaborating with a local charity, organizing a team project, or volunteering virtually for more accessibility, we’re making a tangible impact. By offering employees four paid volunteer days every year and providing guidance on how to engage with our communities, we enable and encourage them to take action that makes a difference.
