Mercer colleagues make a difference in their communities through the Mercer Cares Business Resource Group (BRG), which harnesses our people’s passion to make a meaningful impact in their communities through volunteering.

Our Mercer Cares Business Resource Group

We are advocates for corporate social responsibility not just in the way we do business, but also in our commitment to helping our communities.

Mercer Cares is a signature global program that supports and encourages colleague-driven volunteering in the communities where we live and work.

Volunteer Spotlight

Mercer Portugal helps rebuild a small village

During Marsh McLennan’s 2015 Global Volunteer Month 109 Mercer colleagues in Portugal spent a day rehabilitating and renovating buildings in the small village of Canha, south of Lisbon. Together with other volunteers from MMC, they contributed over 1,000 volunteer hours.

Teams of colleagues joined Canha’s local authorities to restore and renovate the local church, public gardens, primary school, kindergarten, a small museum, and the local community house, where elderly people in the village meet to relax and socialize.

This initiative was very important because Mercer helped improve the community’s quality of living and local infrastructures. It was also an extraordinary experience for us. It is incredible to see what we learn when we have the opportunity to interact with the local population.”
— Diogo Alarcão, CEO of Mercer Portugal
