Last week, Fitch Group celebrated Global Volunteer Week, marking a time when our organization comes together to give back to the communities where we live and work. From June 3rd to June 7th, we were proud to see a remarkable turnout of over 2,230 employees who registered to participate in various volunteer activities around the world. Our team members engaged in a diverse array of volunteer projects, showcasing the enthusiasm and dedication within our ranks. This year, we were able to extend our efforts across a range of initiatives including: • Exploring career pathways with young people in Rio de Janeiro • Running a financial literacy workshop for workers in Dubai • Mentoring high school students in New York The impact of these activities resonates far beyond the time spent, as they help foster stronger, more resilient communities and enrich the lives of those involved. While Volunteer Week has come to a close, the spirit of service remains an integral part of the Fitch Group culture, and we want to thank all our volunteers for their participation. #FitchGroup #VolunteerWeek #CommunityService #CorporateResponsibility #FitchGVW2024
