Local community support and investment
-
RI Cares supports local communities across our multi-local business. Each region has an ambassador who coordinates the fund to match colleagues’ efforts locally, and to commit financial support to those local charities which Protect People and Enhance Lives, in line with the Company’s social purpose. Community activity is coordinated, monitored and reported (with an approval process for funding) through the RI Cares committee, has clear rules and policies, and results are communicated across the Company.

Response to national disasters
-
Over the last ten years, the Company has supported many local communities at times of crisis, including the earthquakes in New Zealand and Indonesia; flooding in northern Thailand; the devastation caused in Kerala, India, from monsoon flooding; the widespread devastation across Fiji from Cyclone Winston; and the more recent hurricanes in the USA and Caribbean. During 2020, the Company made a donation from RI Cares to the Beirut Emergency Appeal.
