To mark International Day of Charity, we are proud to release our latest Volunteer Report, celebrating the transformative impact made possible through Ambassadors for Good, our global, skills-based employee volunteering programme.
Our Ambassadors for Good programme is a great example of how collaboration with communities can drive meaningful change. Backed by the Anglo American Foundation, Ambassadors for Good brings together small teams of colleagues from Anglo American and De Beers Group to co-create projects with local partner organisations. These partnerships are the cornerstone of our approach, ensuring that every initiative is shaped by the voices and needs of the communities we serve.
Michael Mapstone, CEO of the Anglo American Foundation, says: “A culture of giving - through time, skills, or resources - can shift what’s possible for local non-profits and help shape stronger, more connected societies. This is reflected in Ambassadors for Good, a powerful expression of volunteerism across Anglo American’s global workforce. The Anglo American Foundation is proud to support the programme and celebrate colleagues who bring it to life- one project and one team at a time.”
By working hand-in-hand with trusted local partners, our Ambassadors bring fresh energy, skills and ideas to projects that are not only impactful, but also sustainable and respectful of local culture and context. These partnerships ensure that our efforts are grounded in real community priorities - helping us support people in the places where we live and work in the right way.
“What sets this programme apart is not only the scale of the impact, but also the spirit in which it is carried out,” said Alison Atkinson, Chief Projects & Development Officer and Global Executive Sponsor of the programme. “Ambassadors choose the causes that matter most to them. They contribute their time and professional expertise to tackling real-world community challenges, from advancing gender equity and food security to promoting education, mental health and sustainable livelihoods.”
The report details:
- 92% of partner organisations believe support from Ambassadors for Good will be a change agent for their organisation.
- 91% of partner organisations agree that Anglo American or De Beers Group are a positive influence in the communities where they operate.
