Intermediate Capital Group (ICG)

ICG recently contributed 49 hours of volunteering to City Harvest London, where our interns spent the day sorting and packing rescued food 🍏. City Harvest aim to tackle food poverty by redistributing surplus food that would have otherwise been wasted. This is then given to various charity groups around London, who deliver the food to those in need 🌎. In total, it is believed that ICG’s contribution that day equated to: -         25,970 meals delivered to charities feeding their communities -         10.9 tonnes of food rescued -         28 tonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions prevented We are: 📌 A global business of local people 🥇 Attracting and developing the best talent 🫱🏾🫲🏻 Living an inclusive environment 👉 Learn more about our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives: https://lnkd.in/eZRG_P-A #Charity #CSR #PrivateMarkets #PrivateCapital

We recently hosted an insight day in our London office for eight young people, in partnership with ThinkForward. Issa, one of the participants, commented “The day was helpful. Doing a practice interview is good because I got feedback that will help me improve for next time, for example I can work on my body language and also try to speak louder.” We wish every success to the young people who attended our insight day✨. ThinkForward, who is one of our partner charities, aims to reduce the risk of young people in disadvantaged parts of London becoming NEET (not in education, employment or training). One of ThinkForward’s initiatives involves running a Business Mentoring Programme to support some of the most disadvantaged young people in preparing for the world of work. 🔗 Find out more about our partnership with ThinkForward: https://lnkd.in/eZRG_P-A We are: 📌 A global business of local people 🥇 Attracting and developing the best talent 🫱🏾🫲🏻 Living an inclusive environment #Careers #EarlyCareers
