Citi celebrates 12th annual Global Community Day

In the days leading up to and including Global Community Day, Citi volunteers participated in more than 1,500 service projects ranging from urban revitalisation to mentorship and job skills training, literacy and education, environmental conservation and disaster relief.

“Citi’s annual Global Community Day is an important event for our firm and one I always look forward to,” said Citi CEO Michael Corbat. “It provides an opportunity to deepen our relationships with communities we serve, which is absolutely vital to our business success. And it shows the impact we can have when our people show up in force — more than 100,000 strong this year.” Catalina Herrera Roca, Citi County Officer Trinidad said, “Global Community Day is an anticipated day when staff work together in solidarity with the common purpose of enhancing the lives of others and giving back to local communities in a more relaxed setting. This year, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Trinidad and Tobago, employees, their families and friends, volunteered to paint some of the residents’ homes and the community centre at Cashews Gardens, Chaguanas as well as distributed food hampers to families.

Since the inaugural Global Community Day in 2006, Citi volunteers have contributed more than three million hours of service to Global Community Day projects in hundreds of cities throughout the world.
