Launched in 2015, Exchanger, our award-winning Volunteer Programme has been creating volunteering opportunities for employees, friends and family, and partners to exchange their time for community service and make a real difference.
At Emirates NBD, we sincerely believe that altruism is deeply rooted in human nature.
We also believe that momentum and passion is what keeps corporate social responsibility thriving.
Volunteering for a cause, big or small, fulfills our instinct to help, share and get involved. It is never too early, or too late to become a volunteer and leave positive impact on people’s lives and the community-at-large.
Besides the enormous impact it makes for people in need, worthwhile causes and the community, volunteering holds even greater benefits for you, the volunteer.
