Social purpose
Stimulating positive change
Legal & General is a leading UK financial services group and major global investor that aims to build a better society for the long term by investing in things that make life better for everyone.
We carry this social purpose into everything we do in Bermuda. We are passionate about the social impact projects we undertake and believe they can inspire positive change for our people, planet and local communities across the island.
Our Corporate Social Responsibility Committee meets regularly to plan how we can make meaningful donations and engage in company-wide acts of service that will benefit the community at large. Many staff members also dedicate their time and skills outside of work to support causes across the community that are close to their heart.
Our impact
Our Corporate Social Responsibility is focused on three pillars.
Community
Supporting causes and making donations that help the Bermuda community.
Recent projects include teaming up with the community action initiative Support Public Schools, Bermuda (SPS) to donate school supplies to primary school students in Bermuda. We’ve also donated to The Coalition for the Protection of Children (CPC), a local charity that advocates on behalf of children and their families.
Education
Enabling individuals to learn the skills and to meet future job demands.
We work with the Association of Bermuda Insurance Companies (ABIC) and Bermuda International Long-Term Insurers and Reinsurers (BILTIR) to provide university scholarships and internships opportunities. We contribute funding and mentoring to provide encouragement, practical support, and guidance especially for young people whose access to these opportunities have been limited. We also support Planet Math which aims to make math knowledge more accessible to school children.
Environment
Protecting Bermuda's environment through education and responsible management.
We are focused on supporting company-wide volunteer days and engaging staff in learning more about the environment. Recent projects include partnering with the Bermuda National Trust to plant a small forest and contribute to the larger Spittal Pond pollution abatement project. Spittal Pond is Bermuda’s largest nature reserve. We are also a proud Business Patron of the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute.
