Commitment to Community Since 1936, the mission of Russell Investments has been broader than improving financial security for people. Our culture is deeply rooted in the ideals of non-negotiable integrity, respect and trust. We aspire to a higher set of values than required by law. Moreover, we place a high value on our associates, families, communities and clients, which are all critical to our success. Russell's "genuine focus on our people" includes active involvement in the communities where associates live and do business. As our business has grown, so has our community investment. Russell invests in communities through focused giving, corporate giving and a generous cash matching program for associate contributions of time and money. In total, Russell contributed approximately US$3 million worldwide in 2006, equivalent to about US$1,500 per associate. Russell's Internal Culture The Russell work environment is built on a corporate culture that has always placed Russell associates as top priority — trusting that satisfied people will generate satisfied clients. As a result, Russell enjoys a premier leadership role in the financial services industry. This approach, combined with a rich tradition of charitable giving and global community involvement, has built a strong foundation for success and leadership. Associates regard Russell as a great place to work, evidenced by a low employee turnover rate of about 10 percent and the firm's inclusion in Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For in America list for 2007. In fact, Russell has been named to the Fortune list six times since 1999. Russell also ranked No. 2 in the 2003 Best Small & Medium Companies to Work for in America competition, sponsored by the Great Place to Work Institute. We believe that improving financial security for people can take many forms. Sometimes it is defined by providing assistance to change the life of one individual, other times it is engaging in activities that affect the development of an entire nation. |
