We achieve the most powerful impact when we work together. With the support and commitment of Zurich Insurance Group and its employees*, we are able to reach further, respond to what truly matters, and create lasting impact in communities around the world.
Below are some of the ways we work together with Zurich to make a difference.
The Customer and Distributor Community Engagement Program
We have supported a number of activities in collaboration with Zurich Insurance Business Units along with their valued partners. This collective action is creating positive impact in local communities.

Every activity we undertake as part of this initiative prioritizes social impact so that our combined efforts make a meaningful, positive difference in the communities we serve.
At Zurich, we are committed to building meaningful relationships with our customers and communities. We connect through empathy and the drive to help people. Through shared initiatives we strengthen connections, allowing us to work side by side on social impact initiatives that reflect our shared values and create brighter futures.
Building brighter futures with Zurich employees
Volunteering
Every permanent employee can take at least one paid day each year to volunteer. We support this by organizing volunteering opportunities - from mentoring young people to food drives. Through our local grant programs, employees engage in skills-based volunteering for causes that matter.
Fundraising
Through our donation matching scheme, we amplify employees' impact by matching their personal donations to charitable organizations.
We also open up our matching campaigns to the public during global appeals — helping communities hit by climate disasters and other crises get the support they need.

Zurich Insurance Group has no ownership interest in the Farmers Exchanges. Farmers Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Zurich Insurance Group and certain of its subsidiaries provide certain non-claims services and ancillary services to the Farmers Exchanges as attorney-in-fact and receive fees for its services.
One thing that could define the role of the Foundation in the future of a world that is so divided, is to build empathy and activism amongst people.
Changemaker Program
Since 2019, we have partnered with One Young World to invest in over 100 young leaders from more than 40 countries, many facing significant challenges. Our Changemaker program, launched in 2025, helps these young talents turn their ideas into real solutions for their communities. Together, we are helping build stronger, more resilient communities by learning from and supporting the next generation of leaders.

That’s exactly what we strive to do in everything. We create platforms for young people to share their stories, for us to listen and appreciate where they’re at. It’s not about trying to fix each other or judge each other. It’s about understanding and uniting around the feeling we all have about the kind of lives we envision and want to realize. And then, how do we inspire others to prioritize their mental wellbeing and also inspire our leaders and policy makers to create change.
