Community at the core

Currencies Direct believe that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goes beyond charity and extends to doing the right thing by our people, partners, customers and communities. We understand our role and responsibility in the community, both local and global, and we have a structured, long term programme in place to make this commitment a reality.

There are three main components that underpin CSR at Currencies Direct: our charitable approach (fundraising / corporate giving); our engagement with the community and our environmental policy.

We’ve been quietly supporting charities and good causes for over a decade. However we are now at the stage where we can make a clear statement in relation to our commitment to charitable causes. A structured support programme is now in place, under which our staff select the charity partners that we will support over the coming year.

Our staff is at the heart of our CSR program, it is an ethos and approach that is owned by them. Our CSR champions are representative of all parts of the business, this committee is responsible for co-ordinating and promoting the Currencies Direct CSR culture whilst encouraging our enthusiastic staff worldwide to get involved in a wide range of fundraising activities close to their hearts.

As a business we fully recognise that our activities can have significant social impacts on business and society and we work hard to ensure that we optimise the positive effects and to minimise adverse impacts on the environment.

As part of our corporate responsibility programme, Currencies Direct also founded FX4Charity an innovative fundraising initiative launched in 2009. It provides a unique opportunity for individuals and businesses to save money and generate a donation to the charity of their choice when executing their foreign currency transactions.

Currencies Direct are part of the Heart of the City programme which helps businesses in the City to learn from one another how to develop voluntary and socially responsible programmes in the community.
