Ebury marks inaugural Values Day by highlighting ESG progress and future ambitions

942 hours of corporate volunteering delivered across 34 global offices during FY25/26

47% of Ebury's office floor area now operates within green-certified buildings, with 99% of cloud workloads running in low-carbon regions

Purpose-Led initiatives include Financial Inclusion Week, career programmes for young women and AI skills development for underrepresented talent

New partnerships with Anthesis Group and Lignaverda will support Ebury's next phase of environmental action

London, July 22, 2026—Ebury, the global financial services firm, is marking its first-ever Values Day by celebrating the progress made across its environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy and reaffirming its commitment to responsible business growth.

The initiative provides an opportunity to recognise the contribution of employees across Ebury’s global network, while highlighting the progress made over the past year and the firm's ambitions for the future.

Alongside its environmental and governance ambitions, Ebury has placed a renewed focus this year on becoming an increasingly Purpose-Led business - using its expertise, partnerships and people to support financial inclusion, broaden access to careers in financial services and technology, and create opportunities for underrepresented communities. These initiatives complement the firm's long-term ESG strategy by embedding positive social impact into its day-to-day business activities.

Environmental progress

Over the past year, Ebury has continued to strengthen its environmental programme by expanding the way it measures and manages its environmental impact.

The business is currently completing its fourth carbon inventory, significantly broadening its Scope 3 emissions reporting to include employee commuting, company vehicles and spend-based methodologies for key suppliers. Today, 47% of Ebury's office floor area operates within green-certified buildings and 99% of its cloud workload runs in low-carbon regions.

Building on this progress, Ebury is further strengthening its environmental commitments through partnerships with new providers focused on high-quality carbon project procurement, as well as a dedicated initiative with Lignaverda. In collaboration with Lignaverda, Ebury's new "Move for Climate" sports challenge will directly support global reforestation efforts through the planting of 1,500 trees in Senegal. Looking ahead, Ebury's environmental priorities include advancing its Net Zero decarbonisation plans, integrating climate risk assessments into business strategy and ensuring adherence to UK SDR and SDS mandates.

Social and community impact

Supporting local communities remains a key pillar of Ebury's ESG strategy and an increasingly important part of its Purpose-Led business approach. This year, Ebury has expanded its partnerships and programmes to promote financial inclusion, improve access to education and careers, and create opportunities for underrepresented communities across the markets where it operates.

During the last financial year, employees completed 942 hours of corporate volunteering through 78 CSR activities across 34 global offices, working alongside 44 NGO partners. The business also donated £29,901 to initiatives including mentoring programmes, blood donation campaigns, solidarity races and environmental clean-up projects.

As part of this renewed Purpose-Led focus, Ebury recently participated in the global Financial Inclusion Week, engaging with more than 3,100 attendees to demonstrate how its platform supports NGOs operating internationally, including through its work with Peace Direct. The business also supported the China-Europe Investment Congress for the Green Energy Sector in Madrid, reinforcing its commitment to organisations driving sustainable development and the transition to a greener economy.

In London, Ebury partnered with St. Paul's Girls' School and Sacred Heart School to deliver the Ebury Vocation Explorer Bootcamp and a seven-week Micro Internship programme, helping young women explore careers in fintech, data and corporate development through practical business projects.

In Madrid, Ebury has partnered with the NGOs Saturdays.AI and Somos F5 to sponsor a seven-week Machine Learning and Deep Learning specialisation programme, creating a pathway into employment for people at risk of exclusion through a paid internship opportunity within Ebury's Data Team.

Workforce wellbeing and DEI

Alongside its community work, Ebury continues to invest in the wellbeing and development of its people.

Over the past year, the business launched its Global Social, Cultural and Mental Health Calendar, alongside its first Mental Health Programme in partnership with the NGO Yees!, attracting more than 400 attendees across four global workshops focused on mindfulness. It also introduced Psychological First Aider workshops for Local People Partners to further embed mental health support across the organisation.

Employee engagement continues to grow through five active employee-led networks with 639 members, alongside 10 Ebury Sports Clubs and more than 10 sports-related solidarity initiatives. During the year, Ebury also launched its first ESG Sana Course, achieving a 99% progress rate across 1,559 assignments.

Laura Mateus Ávila, ESG specialist at Ebury, commented: "Values Day is an opportunity to recognise the positive impact our colleagues are creating across our organisation and in the communities where we operate. At Ebury, ESG is not a standalone initiative; it is embedded in the way we grow as a global, purpose-led company. As we continue to develop our strategy and empower all ambitious organisations, including SMEs and NGOs, our focus remains on delivering measurable impact through our environmental and social commitments - supporting our people, protecting our planet, and strengthening the communities we work with around the world."
