Our most active volunteer in 2019/20 was Mayuko Yamada, Assistant Vice President, Credit Control, MUFG EMEA.

"CSR initiatives are exciting and rewarding ways to develop new skills and experiences and a great way to meet other staff from around the organisation who I wouldn't otherwise meet through my role."

Julian van Kan, Head of Financial Institutions Group, MUFG EMEA, was our top fundraiser in 2019/20. His bike ride raised a staggering £315,000 for Alzheimer's Research UK.

"I am a great believer that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. The thought of pedalling a bike over 2,300km for 21 days was daunting but it was the support of so many that gave me the mental strength to keep going. Alzheimer's took its toll on my father. The money we raised will continue to help fund important research and purchase necessary equipment."

“CSR has the power to bring people together to make a positive change in our society at large. The difference that we managed to achieve as team EMEA is something I am truly proud of. I am honoured to work amongst passionate colleagues who share a common value to make an impact in our local communities."
