Return on Community
JPMorgan Chase is applying the capabilities and resources that have made us successful as a business to generate what we call 'Return on Community.' This means we are making intentional, strategic investments to lift those who are being left behind. We are measuring our returns according to how we improve individual lives within communities. Number of jobs created, units of affordable housing created or preserved, small businesses launched and young people who've gained the skills needed for in-demand jobs are how we measure our results. Explore our annual Corporate Responsibility Report to learn more about our work to expand economic opportunity.
