Schroders : honoured for support of UK...

Schroders is pleased to announce that it has been honoured with a Silver Award on the UK Ministry of Defence's Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) - one of only 12 London employers to receive this accolade in 2018.

The honour, part of the Armed Forces Covenant, recognises that Schroders has actively demonstrated its commitment to support Armed Forces personnel, their families and veterans.

The ERS, launched in 2014 by then UK Prime Minister David Cameron, recognises employer support for the Principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which looks to ensure those who serve or have served in the armed forces and their families are treated fairly.

Schroders will be presented with its award at a ceremony on 26 November at the RAF Museum.

Stuart Ellis, Assistant Portfolio Manager, Cazenove Capital and head of Schroders' Employee Resource Group for the Armed Forces, said:

'The accolade of Armed Forces Covenant Silver Award demonstrates that Schroders is committed to supporting those that have defended the UK at home and overseas.

'Schroders continually seeks to nurture talent from the Armed Forces to benefit from skills such as discipline, courage and selfless commitment - qualities that Armed Forces personnel embody which are easily transferable into the Schroders culture.'

Minister for Defence Personnel and Veterans, the Rt Hon Tobias Ellwood MP said:

'I am delighted to congratulate the recipients of this year's ERS Silver awards. A Silver award recognises the fantastic efforts of employers throughout the UK who have both elevated their commitments under the Armed Forces Covenant and provided actual benefit to the Armed Forces Community.

'The winners should all be proud of the life-changing impact and fresh opportunities they are providing to our Reservists, veterans, wounded injured and sick and their families. We've seen a record number of winners this year, which shows that the Armed Forces family talent pool is also providing tangible business benefit.'
