Microsoft Citizenship - Helping realise potential across the UK

Citizenship for Microsoft is what many organisations will term Corporate Social Responsibility. For us, this means that we believe we have the ability and responsibility to make a positive difference in the world. We work with our employees, partners, government and industry to ensure that our Citizenship work programme makes a positive impact in today’s society.

This website provides an overview of all the projects Microsoft is undertaking in the UK Community. As a business we utilise our skills, knowledge and resources to help people in the UK realise their potential. You are able to find information on our community projects as well as how we work as a responsible business in our commitment to the Environment, Security and Privacy.
