Analysys Mason social investment report

For FY22, Telecoms Sans Frontières ("TSF") was Analysys Mason's corporate charity, the world's first NGO focusing on emergency-response technologies. Money was raised for TSF; this was mainly derived from completed client surveys – for every client survey completed, Analysys Mason donates £50 towards the charity. In addition, money was generated following redistribution of its social budget from across various offices.

Being a global firm, Analysys Mason supports local and international charities. It recognises that a large number of charitable organisations rely heavily upon donations from the business sector and appreciates the increasing difficulties many organisations face in raising much needed funds.

Over £10 000 has been given to other global charities. Many of these have ranged from charities that have a personal affinity to Analysys Mason's employees to international charities whose efforts are recognised world-wide. More recently it gave money to purchase an oxygen concentrator in India to help during the Covid-19 pandemic. Other activities of raising funds have been through company matching, employee referrals and internal events.

In order to support a diverse range of charities, which are important to employees, Analysys Mason matches any sponsored activities undertaken by an employee to the value of £300. As a company, Analysys Mason is committed to supporting registered charities in the communities where it operates, and it considers providing financial assistance to sporting events, education and welfare groups.

Analysys Mason values the importance of volunteering, both to the community and to employees' wellbeing. Analysys Mason is committed to actively supporting and promoting volunteering as an opportunity to contribute to the community, build and develop skills, gain knowledge and experience and to add personal value to fulfilling activities. Recent examples where Analysys Mason has provided volunteer leave includes:

• Following floods in a small village in Germany, the team in the Bonn office spent a full day cleaning up the river to support families whose houses/belongings had been destroyed by the floods
• One of Analysys Mason's colleagues in the Hong Kong office helped to distribute Boxes of Hope to children living in poverty across Asia
• A member of the Manchester office supporting local charity "Changing Lives Together" with regular volunteering at the Cheshire Food Hub, redistributing food that would otherwise go to landfill
• Due to Covid-19, only a small percentage of employees have taken up volunteer leave during FY22, however there have recently been more requests on the back of restrictions easing

Analysys Mason has an active CSR community on Yammer sharing ideas and experiences, and a core cross-office group which meets quarterly. In FY23, Analysys Mason is committed to expanding this further with the introduction of a local office champions' network, recognising that individual teams/offices will likely have varying priorities that can still be actively supporting within a global framework.
