Corporate Citizenship
Murray J. Taylor
President and Chief Executive Officer
For Investors Group, our long heritage of grassroots involvement, corporate funding, and project initiation by many of our people has created a strong corporate culture of caring for our communities. We have a long history of attracting people who are ambitious and people who care for those they serve, which translates into a deep interest in community needs. When you combine these characteristics, you end up with a strong sustainable focus on corporate citizenship.
Investors Group is committed to making a contribution to the many communities across Canada in which we operate by supporting local and national activities, events and organizations. In doing so, we hope to help our communities be more dynamic and interesting places to live and work:
- Investors Group is a founding member of Imagine Canada and is committed to donating at least one per cent of our average annual pre-tax income to charitable and other non-profit organizations.
- In 2006, more than $5.6 million was donated to 2,095 organizations.
- Murray Taylor, President and CEO, is a signatory to Imagine’s Leadership Challenge for CEOs and Boards, which encourages other Canadian companies to make a contribution to the communities they serve.
- For more than 10 years Investors Group has partnered with Volunteer Canada and joined with them to launch the Corporate Council on Volunteering, a CEO-led initiative to encourage employer-supported volunteering across Canada.
Our commitment to Imagine also includes:
- Encouraging volunteerism through our Volunteer Support Program. Consultants, employees, retirees and/or their immediate families can apply for grants of financial assistance from Investors Group to benefit charitable organizations in which they are directly involved as volunteers.
- Promoting personal financial participation through our Matching Gifts Program. Investors Group matches qualifying gifts made by Consultants, employees, retirees and directors to eligible registered Canadian charities on a dollar for dollar basis.
