International Day of Charity

Observed on the 5th September, International Day of Charity honours the legacy of Mother Teresa and recognises the power of giving to support those most in need.

CIS is committed to meaningful, long‑term charitable engagement that strengthens the communities we serve. Our approach is grounded in our ESG strategy, which aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and provides a clear framework for delivering genuine social value and supporting global priorities.

As part of this commitment, we have recently introduced Payroll Giving, enabling colleagues to make regular, tax‑efficient donations directly to charities of their choice. This initiative empowers employees to contribute to causes that matter to them and reinforces our focus on accessible, employee‑driven social impact.

Our charitable activity is further structured through the CIS Citizenship Trust, which serves as the foundation of our giving model. Built on three core pillars, Trust Donations, Corporate Funding and Grants. The Trust ensures our support is transparent, targeted and aligned with our ESG commitments.

Together, these elements form a cohesive and responsible approach to charity, enabling CIS to support a wide range of charities and community partners while driving meaningful, measurable social impact.
