Global Volunteer Month 2024
Each May we celebrate Global Volunteer Month across Marsh McLennan. This year, we are proud to enter our tenth year of the initiative. To celebrate this milestone we’re aiming for 10,000 colleagues to volunteer in the month. Colleagues take the opportunity to connect with each other whilst giving back to the communities where we live and work.

Packing care packages
Colleagues in the United States teamed up to pack bags of goodies for children living in shelters or those facing hard times. The team packed 120 kits to be donated.

They used satellite imagery to create a base map which is then used by local communities and humanitarian groups to inform decision making and respond more effectively.
