Corporate Citizenship

As the world’s leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace, CME Group strives to be a good corporate citizen by giving back to the communities in which we live and work. Through the charitable foundations, our Amicus community outreach program and other community relations endeavors, we are investing in numerous non-profit agencies across the city, providing valuable services and enriching our communities. But we are providing more than just financial support; we are building lasting relationships. It is these relationships that will continue to guide us in our mission to meet the needs of our communities. We are proud of the important role CME Group plays in the community, and we look forward to continuing to help those people who need it most.
