What Allstate did

Corporate Responsibility is fundamental to the culture of Allstate and is embedded in its day-to-day operational activities. Allstate’s strategy is not just about fundraising, it goes much deeper to ensure a deeper commitment to the charities it supports and people it affects. As Northern Ireland’s largest IT Company it continually modifies its business practices to live up to its people, community, and environmental goals by supporting leadership development, voluntary work, and diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

Allstate is intrinsically committed to ensuring that every child has the right to access optimum education opportunities and, as a result, educational activities are a key part of Allstate’s overall CSR strategy. Throughout 2016 the IT firm welcomed local schools, and their pupils, eager to learn more about the technology industry, and equally to understand more about the innovation driven by our employees.

In addition to this, Allstate has proactively engaged with the education community by reaching out to local schools across the province, and has implemented initiatives across all levels of the curriculum. From pre-school, right through to A-Level and undergraduates, initiatives include one-on-one mentoring, tailored work experience programmes, coding schools, IT Celebration events and skills workshops.
