Earlier this summer, our Value Chain Finance and Markets teams competed in the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay. Each runner on the 10-person relay team ran one mile of a 10-mile course through NYC’s Wall Street area. Together, with other major financial institutions in 13 cities around the world, the relay race has raised $2.3 million for charities dedicated to public health, education and equality.#GrowingaBetterWorldTogether #RunForYourCity #GivingBack
