Volunteerism

Introduction

At Chubb, we encourage the development of initiatives that reflect our employees’ commitment to the needs of their local and regional communities.

Through national campaigns, local volunteer projects and other initiatives, Chubb supports employee giving and volunteerism with a variety of programs.

Chubb employee volunteerism program

Employees from around the globe participate in hundreds of volunteer activities annually that have a direct impact on the local communities where our employees live and work. Volunteer activities have included building houses, supporting public schools, sorting food donations and cleaning up public parks.

Matching gift program

Chubb matches donations made to eligible charitable organizations by employees in the U.S., Canada and Bermuda. Employees are able to double their personal donations through the matching gift program. In 2020, the program matched nearly 4,700 employee donations in the U.S. and Bermuda.

Pandemic relief matching gift campaign

In April 2020, Chubb launched a global employee matching gift campaign in support of organizations providing pandemic relief. Chubb employees made donations to several organizations with a focus on delivering emergency medical support to healthcare facilities and helping the vulnerable and hungry through community food banks in countries around the world. These donations are matched dollar-for-dollar by the Chubb Charitable Foundation.

Disaster relief matching gifts

Chubb provides funding in support of relief efforts in global disasters through grants and employee campaigns. Chubb has supported disaster relief and rebuild in several countries, including in response to 2020 floods in Hyderabad, India, the 2019-2020 bushfires in Australia, Typhoon Mangkhut in 2018 in the Philippines and the 2018 earthquake in Indonesia.

Annual Projects

 

Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation Week of Giving

The Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation combines the collective strengths of the insurance industry to provide grants, volunteer service and leadership. Through the IICF, Chubb contributes to local non-profits in a wide variety of areas, including education, disaster preparedness, the environment, health and human services, military veterans and at-risk children. During the IICF Week of Giving, Chubb employees throughout the U.S. and the United Kingdom engage in local volunteer activities. This annual eight-day initiative encourages industry professionals to come together in completing volunteer projects and service that benefit the communities in which they live and work.

Asia Pacific Regional Day of Service

Each November, Chubb’s Asia Pacific region holds a day of service for employees to engage with and help their communities. Despite the pandemic the last two years, the region was able to adjust to the circumstances, pivoting to a virtual environment as needed. Additionally, each program was designed to address the essential needs of local communities impacted by the pandemic. Eleven markets in the region took part in a range of local volunteer projects, including building a community garden, virtual fundraising and donating various necessities. 

 

WindReach Recreational Village Day of Service

2020 marked the 13th year that the Chubb Bermuda’s Property Department volunteered with WindReach Recreational Village, a fully accessible facility that offers a variety of therapeutic and educational experiences for people with varying physical and intellectual abilities. Chubb’s Property team spent their day cleaning the horse barn, painting beams, and dusting surfaces. The team’s work demonstrates the ongoing commitment to support the center’s goal to enrich the quality of life for people with special needs.
