Community

We are committed to our global community

Computershare has a long history of community involvement and is committed to community engagement through volunteer and fundraising programs based in areas local to our business. We support and encourage our staff to participate in community activities by providing everyone with a volunteer day each year.

Change A Life has a focus on sustainability by investing 80% of donations in global projects which provide long-term solutions to the communities our employees vote to work with. The remaining 20% of donations go to local projects via established charities, chosen by our local employees. Computershare matches all employee payroll donations.

The school is in Gokarna, approximately 1 hour drive from Kathmandu.
