Advent is proud to announce the launch of Advent IMpact, the company’s dedicated Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV) programme. Built on the same principles that have guided Advent’s consultancy for years – trust, integrity, and long-term sustainability – Advent IMpact represents a significant step forward in strengthening the organisation’s commitment to people, communities, and the environment.
As part of Advent IMpact, the company has introduced a new initiative supporting employees with two paid volunteer days per year. This empowers team members to give back to the causes and communities that matter most to them, creating meaningful social impact while fostering a culture of responsibility and purpose.
Commenting on the launch, Advent IM’s Chief Operating Officer, Julia McCarron, said:
“At Advent, we believe that making a difference starts with our people. Advent IMpact gives our colleagues the time and support to contribute to causes they care about, reflecting our commitment to creating positive change in the communities we serve. This programme is about more than volunteering—it’s about empowering individuals to make a meaningful impact while reinforcing the values that guide everything we do.”
Central to the programme are Advent’s people, who are already putting their volunteer days into action. From supporting a local West Midlands Zoo to taking part in charity hikes for mental health, colleagues are choosing causes that matter to them personally. Together, their efforts reflect Advent IM’s belief in the power of individuals to make a meaningful and lasting impact.
With Advent IMpact, Advent IM strengthens its long-standing ethos of responsibility and stewardship, ensuring that the organisation continues to grow in a way that benefits not only its clients but also society.
