The QBE Foundation in our International European Operations division was set up in 2011 to support charities around the world and to date we have donated more than £10m to good causes.
Through our efforts with like-minded charities we focus on creating strong, resilient, and inclusive communities that have a positive impact for people, our customers, and broker partners.
We support charities in a variety of ways, from matching employee fundraising efforts, encouraging employee volunteering and providing local grants through our Employee Networks, to charities that align with the QBE Foundation’s focus on climate resilience and inclusion – two areas where we believe we can have the greatest impact.
Grant Clemence, Chairman, QBE EO Foundation says:
“We aim to support projects that make a lasting difference to people’s lives and give them a chance to achieve their ambitions.”
Community Partnership
The QBE Foundation has agreed an innovative partnership with education charity Action Tutoring that will see QBE invest over £1.5 million to support children from disadvantaged backgrounds in England.
QBE Disaster Relief and Resilience Partnership
As a global insurer, we see first-hand the impacts natural disasters have on our customers and the communities in which we operate. We know that when disaster strikes, it’s vital that resources can be deployed quickly to support communities, both in the immediate response and to assist in the long-term recovery.
Employee Network grant programme
The QBE Foundation is committed to helping create strong, resilient, and inclusive communities. One of the ways we aim to do this is by supporting the causes championed by QBE’s D&I employee networks; Circle, Mix, Open Mind, Pride, Sustainability and Workability.
