Our Environmental, Social & Governance Strategy
Mattioli Woods has had our environmental, social, governance and community purpose in our hearts since opening our doors in 1991. The MWEXCiTE programme, launched in 2022, is our company wide programme to refresh, energise and enhance our Environmental, Social and Governance commitment and awareness.
HELPING OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND CHARITY PARTNERS SINCE OPENING OUR DOORS IN 1991
Since 2017, after Mattioli Woods took a minority stake in Amati Global Investors, the two business have worked extremely closely together, one of our jointly held beliefs is supporting local charities and making a difference in the community, to this end we have raised an incredible £571,696 which has been and will continue to be distributed to charities that are important to our people using our charity nomination process.
BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION
We are proud of our unique charitable partnership with British Heart Foundation, giving back has always been an integral component of Mattioli Woods’ culture and personality.
‘“The British Heart Foundation are proud to work with Mattioli Woods. The support and awareness they are driving within their teams in promoting both Heart Health and CPR training will genuinely save lives. Across the business the fundraising events taken on by individuals and teams alike are inspiring. The money raised over the partnership will enable the BHF to continue its life saving research and help us to end heartbreak forever.” – Jon Frost, British Heart Foundation
