Immense Returns from Social Investment

In 2008, the Trinidad and Tobago Unit Trust Corporation (UTC) changed our approach to Corporate Social Responsibility from financial benevolence to active social investment in the following areas: improving the standard of living, literacy and youth development, cultural enhancement and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. Through this redefined approach to Corporate Social Responsibility, every member of the UTC team gives of their time, expertise and “sweat equity” to contribute to communities that UTC has been privileged to serve for the past 26 years.

Here are a few testimonials from beneficiaries of the UTC Community Outreach Programme:

“UTC has simply started a revolution…as it related to management and staff pioneering, in such massive numbers, volunteers to assist communities….This is the real heart of what it means and what it takes to assist communities, by leading the way in the spirit of volunteerism”

Jennifer Messiah, National Director, Habitat for Humanity, Trinidad and Tobago


“UTC’s support of the (literacy programme) has helped to build the possibility of a sound education for children in challenged communities.”

Cornelia Bonterre, Country Coordinator,
ARROW Programme


“We cannot say thank you enough for all that has been done for the children at our home.”

Mrs. Braddock, St. Mary’s Children’s Home


“We cannot say ‘Thank You’ enough to the staff at the UTC. With their help, visitors can now really enjoy the flora and fauna (at the Nature Centre) on safe trails.”

Jason Radix, Marketing Manager, Asa Wright Nature Centre
