Corporate Social Responsibility at FT

The FT has established its own charity, the Financial Literacy and Inclusion Campaign (FLIC). Financial literacy has been proven to increase social mobility and improve financial behaviour for individuals and communities. It’s our aim to democratise financial education by providing free and engaging content to those who need it most: young people, women, and disenfranchised groups including minority ethnic communities and migrants. Staff can volunteer their time to support the charity.
The FT matches charitable donations made by UK or US-based employees to registered charities up to £500/$650 per year.
UK employees can also enrol in Give As You Earn (GAYE). With GAYE, the donations you make to charity are taken from their pay before income tax is deducted.
FT employees may take up to two days of paid volunteer leave from work in any calendar year, prorated for employees working less than five days in any one work week.
