A Commitment to Global Humanitarian Efforts 

EC Markets is pleased to announce officially its membership of UNICEF UK*’s Business Network in support of the world’s most vulnerable children. This forms part of EC Markets’ broader strategy to strengthen its international footprint and consolidate its market influence while simultaneously contributing to meaningful endeavours, especially those aimed at improving and enhancing the lives of vulnerable and at-risk children worldwide. Through their membership, EC Markets seeks to mobilise its resources and expertise to support programmes that provide educational opportunities, healthcare, and essential services to children in need. 

UNICEF UK’s Business Network are a group of businesses who have chosen to donate to UNICEF to help create lasting change for children around the world. Whether it is a conflict or a natural disaster, emergencies pose a disproportionate risk to children. Our donation supports UNICEF to help children affected by emergencies, wherever they are in the world, without delay.   

 
Matthew Smith, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of EC Markets, emphasised the firm’s steadfast commitment to this important membership, stating: “At EC Markets, we firmly believe that our success is measured not only in terms of economic growth but also by the tangible positive impact we can have on the world. By joining UNICEF UK’s Business Network, we are supporting children living in the most difficult circumstances, ensuring that they have uninterrupted access to the support they need to survive and thrive.”  

Strategic Vision and Corporate Responsibility 

As part of its strategic redesign for consolidation and expansion, EC Markets is implementing a broad programme to renew its corporate identity, reaffirming its dynamic commitment to enhancing its global presence.  A cornerstone of this  continually evolving strategy is their membership of UNICEF UK’s Business Network, which  reflects EC Markets’ pledge to leverage its influence and resources in pursuit of substantive global transformation. 

 
Nick Xydas, Group Marketing Director of EC Markets, said: “Our membership of the UNICEF UK Business Network constitutes a key component of our long-term vision. We aim for an enduring and tangible venture, not only through our business operations but also through active participation in initiatives that support the most vulnerable social groups worldwide. This membership transcends mere financial contribution; it entails exploiting our comparative advantages to effect measurable and meaningful changes in a world in need.”
