Saffery Champness Registered Fiduciaries has won the silver ‘Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Activity of the Year’ award at the inaugural Citywealth Brand Management and Reputation awards.
The prestigious award evening recognised the firm’s involvement with the Saffery Rotary Walk as well as its commitment to a wide range of local initiatives through sponsorship, investment, volunteering and raising awareness across community, charity, sport, education and the arts.
Citywealth launched the awards with the aim of recognising firms and individuals who have developed successful brands, engaged the public and aligned their firm or product with the values and beliefs of clients and peers.
The firm’s CSR initiatives form a major part of its culture and business strategy. It was also named as CSR Company of the Year at the Guernsey Community Awards last year.
Saffery Champness took over the sponsorship of the Rotary Walk in 2014 and has taken the event to new heights. The firm has helped raise more than £80,000 for 20 local charities in the first two years of its sponsorship. A further 18 new charities are set to benefit from the funds raised by this year’s walk.
Saffery Champness director, and head of the firm’s CSR activity, Lisa Vizia, said: “During the 39 years we have been in Guernsey we have established a cultural ethos of giving and volunteering throughout all areas of the company.
“Our staff are very enthusiastic about our CSR initiatives and volunteer their time to many charity and community projects wholeheartedly encouraged and supported by the business.
“This award recognises their efforts and the organisation’s ability to ensure that each charity, project or initiative leaves a long-lasting legacy.”
