ING and UNICEF
for something better
About the partnership
At ING we believe that we best contribute to society by being good at what we do, by taking responsibility for the impact our products and services have on the world around us and by contributing to positive change.
To underline this commitment we started the ING Chances for Children global initiative in 2005 for the disadvantaged children of the world. We believe education is a fundamental building block for the development of societies. Access to education can be life-changing and help to equalise opportunity, leading to economic growth and the development of a healthy society. However, for children to truly benefit from education, their basic needs need to be met first. That is why the scope of our ING Chances for Children programme includes the provision of clean water and healthcare.
We chose to partner with UNICEF towards the fulfilment of a shared vision of providing a better future to disadvantaged children around the world, thus contributing to the 2nd Millennium Development Goal (‘Achieve universal primary education’).
Since the launch of the partnership, ING employees have been the cornerstone of the continued success of the programme, enthusiastically giving their valuable time and money. All financial contributions from our employees are doubled through the ING matching scheme.
