Corporate Social Responsibility

Robert Walters is proud of the work we do with numerous charities across the globe.

Below is a snapshot of how we have been able to help some charitable organisations across the world:

C4Klogo

Computers for Kids of America

Computers for Kids of America (C4K) is a non-profit community based organization that promotes environmentally friendly ways of providing equipment to local schools – by recycling used electronics that would otherwise be discarded. In support of this cause, Robert Walters recently updated their office equipment in their Times Square location and donated all their computers, servers and various other electronics to the organization.

C4K was founded on the idea that without exposure to and skills in technology, a person’s career progression can be limited. Robert Walters recognizes the integral role a well-rounded educational foundation plays in shaping future career opportunities, and is fully committed to the driving principles behind C4K’s initiatives.

With the donation from Robert Walters, C4K pledges to erase all information from the donated equipment and ready it for either redistribution to local schools in need or reselling it and using the proceeds to purchase new equipment for those schools. www.c4kamerica.com

The Financial Industry in Tokyo (FIT) established the FIT For Charity Run to provide people in the financial and related fields in Tokyo with an opportunity as an industry to support local charities.
