Patron wins the Corporate Social Responsibility Award!

Patron Capital, the pan-European focused on property backed , has won in the Corporate Social Responsibility category at the Business Culture Awards.

The awards recognised Patron’s Charitable Initiatives Programme, which particularly focuses on supporting current or retired members of the British Armed Forces who are facing difficulties because of active service, and work that has a multiplier effect and reaches areas of society where support is needed most, including education and regeneration. Judges praised Patron for a ‘meaningful and impressive project that has aligned stakeholders with great social purpose’.

The awards, which celebrate organisations with a stand-out business culture, took place last night at ’s Royal Garden Hotel.

The award comes after the Royal Marines London Dinner on 20th November, sponsored by Patron Capital, raised almost £1 million for the Royal Marines Charity earlier this month.

Keith Breslauer, Patron Capital’s Managing Director, said:

“From the very start of Patron’s existence in 1999, we were keen to create a company with a strong sense of social responsibility, both through investments that have a positive impact on communities and by making charitable activity an intrinsic part of our business.

“Our Charitable Initiatives Programme has helped more than 200 individual injured service people and their families, impacted more than 520,000 children in the UK, and created schools for more than 30 villages in Nepal; it has also created a sense of wider shared purpose among our staff. I’m hugely proud of how the Patron team has come together to support our chosen charitable causes, and it’s great to have our work recognised through this prestigious award.”
