A Day to Celebrate Mother Earth
Earth Day was a hit from the start. The first one, held in 1970, was observed by a remarkable 20 million people at rallies held across the United States, and it soon spread to become an international celebration of nature every year on April 22.
There are many ways to participate, such as planting a tree, collecting recyclables or going for a walk to enjoy the beauty of nature.
Protecting and preserving our planet is a responsibility we all share – and there are more ways than ever to contribute. Companies around the world, including Raymond James, are helping to drive real change with their dedication to environmentally conscious business practices.
I am proud to be part of a firm that values long-term thinking and promotes sustainable resource management. One example of this our use of digital documentation. By expanding our use of digital form signing across the company, Raymond James saved more than 1.8 million paper envelopes in 2023. Sustainable business practices such as this have enabled Raymond James to increase operational efficiency while reducing our environmental impact.
I invite you to explore the many ways Raymond James brings its values to life and promotes sustainable resource management by reviewing our full 2023 Corporate Responsibility report.
If you’re looking for ways to get involved with your family and community this Earth Day, I encourage you to visit earthday.org to find an event near you, test your knowledge with quizzes and discover how you can embrace sustainability in your everyday life.

Happy Earth Day.
