Community impact programme
Our community impact programme continues to evolve and align closely with the Our Tomorrow sustainability goals. Through a global strategy with a local approach, we're able to deliver a robust and focused programme of initiatives that supports not-for-profit organisations. These partnerships are aimed at driving economic empowerment, addressing environmental issues and supporting social mobility
Keeping it local
We establish strategic partnerships aligned with the Our Tomorrow sustainability strategy with not-for-profit organisations in the regions we operate in.
IN IT TOGETHER
We actively encourage our employees to contribute to our community impact programmes and support this through matched fundraising and offering volunteer days for employees to offer their time and expertise to both our charity partners or other causes that hold personal significance to them.
Better future
The Group allocates funding to selected non-profit organisations and initiatives and these non-commercial initiatives aim to unlock the potential of finance to promote economic empowerment and positive sustainability results.

CMC Markets London hosted a cohort of young people through the Social Mobility Business Partnership (SMBP), a volunteer-led charity committed to supporting students from low-income backgrounds in their pursuit of a career in business. Students benefit from visiting four different businesses during the week, learning through interactive business games, and spend a day at a professional sports club where they learn about the psychology of resilience.
Volunteers from across the business ran interactive workshops and spoke to the young people about their roles and career pathways.
CMC Markets signs up to the Women in Finance Charter
CMC Markets joined over 400 firms as signatory to HM Treasury’s Women in Finance Charter and have pledged to support the progression of women into senior roles within the financial services industry. We’ll be setting targets to improve diversity, and reporting on our progress.
The Charter was established in 2016 and reflects the government’s aim to enhance gender equality at all levels. The Charter’s annual review in June 2023 states that 78% of financial service firms are already meeting or are on track to meet their targets to see more women in the boardroom and almost half of firms have committed to have 40% of their boardroom made up of women
