Through our people
Supporting the causes that matter to our team and encouraging them to play an active role in their communities.
Giving Back
Making a difference beyond Bowmore
Our commitment extends beyond the financial lives of our clients. Through the causes we support, the actions of our team and our environmental commitments, we aim to make a positive contribution to the communities and world around us.
Our team in action
Running for Macmillan Cancer Support
Congratulations to Ella, Callum, James and Johnny, who ran in the Vitality London 10K, to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
As they made their way through the heart of London, the team supported the incredible work Macmillan does for people living with cancer and their families, providing vital emotional, practical and financial support when it is needed most.
Congratulations to all the runners!

Supporting climate action around the world
Our three years of climate support have enabled us to contribute to climate projects around the world, including:
Protection of the Matavén forest in eastern Colombia
Protecting forest from degradation and helping local communities and biodiversity to thrive.
Avoiding methane emissions from landfill in Brazil
Avoiding methane emissions and producing electricity at the Macaúbas Landfill in Brazil.
Wind power project in Mexico
Producing 422,076MWh of energy every year from wind power.
Fuel-efficient cookstoves in Uganda
Distributing cleaner cookstoves to reduce emissions from domestic food preparation and support local communities.
Peatland restoration and conservation in Indonesia
Restoring and rewetting peatland in Indonesia to protect one of nature's most effective carbon sinks.
Conserving the Amazon in Brazil
Implementing climate change mitigation and adaptation in the Amazon rainforest.
Our culture of support starts with our team
We want colleagues to feel valued both at work and beyond it. Our 'give' and 'take' days create time to volunteer for a cause that matters to them and to step back around their birthday, while an open culture helps people balance their professional and personal priorities.
We also support our teams' financial and physical wellbeing. Financial education and pension provision help colleagues plan for the future, while healthcare, income protection and life cover provide reassurance when it is needed.
Community in action
Teeing off for two important causes
Bowmore was proud to take part in Bristol & Clifton Golf Club's Club Captains' Charity Day, raising support for BUST and Bristol After Stroke, two charities doing vital work within our local community.
Mark Incledon, Philip Hodges, Ian James and Philip Dadd represented Bowmore in the four-player Bowmaker competition, securing a respectable mid-table finish.
With the club turning pink for the occasion, the day also included a silent auction, raffle and a range of fundraising competitions.
Thank you to Bristol & Clifton Golf Club for hosting such an enjoyable event, and to everyone who helped support two excellent local causes.
Stronger together
We believe the strongest relationships are built on more than financial objectives. Giving back is part of who we are and reflects our values and the kind of relationships we want to build.
