CHICAGO, June 26,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe:
CBOE), the world's leading derivatives and securities exchange
network, today announced a donation of $100,000 to Human Rights Watch, a nonprofit
focused on investigating and exposing human rights abuses across
the world.
The charitable giving is the third installment of Cboe's
commitment to donating a total of $500,000 to five different non-profit
organizations nominated by Cboe's global associates. The charitable
campaign is in honor of its recent 50th anniversary
milestone and each organization chosen exemplifies one of Cboe's
guiding principles: Inclusive Collaboration, Active Transparency,
Competitive Team Spirt, Superior Service and Good Citizenship.
Human Rights Watch was selected to represent Active Transparency
for its work in discovering abuses and protecting rights in
countries throughout the globe.
"Cboe has a long-standing commitment to doing good in the
diverse communities where our clients, associates and partners work
and live," said Brian Schell, Chief
Financial Officer and Treasurer of Cboe Global Markets. "Events
over the last few years served as a stark reminder of the hardships
many people face in their daily life and the role we can play in
contributing towards the betterment of our society. Cboe is proud
to support such an important global organization as Human Rights
Watch, whose track record of upholding human rights worldwide, and
dedication to justice, compassion and equality resonated with our
associates around the world."
Human Rights Watch investigates and exposes human rights abuses
and helps enact change by meeting with governments and other
policy-influencing groups. The organization consists of experts,
lawyers, journalists, and others who work to protect the most at
risk. Human Rights Watch have recently worked on humanitarian
crises include the Russian-Ukraine war, Taliban rule in
Afghanistan and the global
COVID-19 pandemic.
"We are so touched by Cboe's thoughtful initiative and generous
donation," said Rachel Shrock,
associate director of Human Rights Watch's Chicago office. "Achieving meaningful,
systemic human rights change is a long-term commitment that can
sometimes take years or decades. Human Rights Watch is in it for
the long haul, and to have Cboe recognize the value of this work
and provide support is a true honor."
