Launched in the first quarter of 2023, the CME Cares brand is the CME Group's vehicle for communicating its ESG strategy. Through CME Cares, the Group demonstrates its commitment to making a positive contribution to the development of the communities and societies in which it does business. CME Group is aware of the enormous reach it has through its 43 TV channels and online platforms. In particular, it recognises what a powerful tool they are for spreading inspiration, entertainment and information to audiences.
In order to fulfil its commitment to promoting sustainable behaviour, CME Group has become a member of the UN Global Compact, a leading global initiative bringing together companies that want to contribute to the global sustainability agenda. CME is delighted to join like-minded companies that recognise the need for immediate action to ensure a promising future for everyone.
CME Cares is built on four main pillars: responsible content, sustainable production, inclusive teams and affected communities, and ethical business practices. Through these four principles, CME Group aims to promote diversity, inclusion and social reflection within all aspects of content production, while actively minimizing the environmental impact of such production. CME is committed to making informed and inclusive decisions on issues with a social impact, promoting employee engagement and a supportive work environment, and ensuring ethical and transparent business practices to protect stakeholders and contribute to a sustainable and just society.
CME Cares was launched in April and May 2023 in six countries. While individual activities may differ with respect to a given market, the core principles of CME Cares are common to all and will become an integral part of CME Group's operations, culture and business practices in the future.
