Northern Trust Hosts Charity Trading Day to Benefit Four Charities

CHICAGO--()--Northern Trust (Nasdaq: NTRS) held its third Charity Trading Day with employees across the world participating to benefit four charities aligned with Northern Trust’s philanthropic strategy.

As a result of Charity Trading Day, which occurred October 16, 2024, a total of US$1 million will be donated to Habitat for Humanity International, Rise Against Hunger, Ronald McDonald House Charities® and Urban Initiatives.

October is Northern Trust’s signature month of global volunteerism, known as Achieving Greater Together, and Charity Trading Day is at the heart of Northern Trust Asset Servicing’s social impact strategy. The worldwide effort aligns with the company’s long-term community investment strategy designed to drive individual advancement and broader wealth creation.

“Supporting philanthropic efforts is deeply rooted in Northern Trust’s culture,” said Teresa Parker, Northern Trust Asset Servicing President. “Since hosting our inaugural Charity Trading Day in 2022, we have donated more than US$2.5 million to charitable causes from this effort. We are delighted to have continued to make a significant impact in our communities by supporting charities that align with our philanthropic focus: accessible healthcare, affordable housing, educational excellence and food security.”

Charity Trading Day involves hundreds of Asset Servicing employees, from trading and operations to client service and compliance, following the sun across Northern Trust’s trading desks starting in Sydney and on to Singapore, London and Chicago.

“The best part about Charity Trading Day is the support we receive from our clients and trading partners enabling us to create a meaningful impact for our communities together,” said Guy Gibson, Global Head of Banking & Markets at Northern Trust. “I am enormously grateful for their wonderful support in helping us raise awareness for these groups and the amazing work they do in our communities.”

Following the October month of service, employees will also continue to have the opportunity to come together with clients and volunteer for the charities through 2025 in line with Northern Trust’s commitment to give back to the communities in which we live and work.
