The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, the global leader in asset management and securities servicing, observed its 225th anniversary from June 9-16, 2009.

“Our company has a remarkable and unique history. As the oldest bank in the United States, ours is a story of innovation and change, and also an example of the power of continuity. Over the course of these 225 years, the people of The Bank of New York Mellon have stayed true to the values that still guide our success today: client focus, trust, teamwork and outperformance,” said Robert P. Kelly, chairman and chief executive officer of The Bank of New York Mellon. “It is fitting that during this anniversary year, our company continues to play a critical and stabilizing role in the global economy. We look forward to continuing to support our people, clients and communities for the next 225 years. ”

One worldwide anniversary effort included hundreds of employee volunteers lending a helping hand to nonprofit organizations in their communities through BNY Mellon's Community Partnership employee volunteering program. Employees in Pune planted 225 trees while their colleague in Tokyo packaged food and supplies for the homeless.  From New York and Orlando to Singapore and beyond, the company will also make a donation to each nonprofit organization on behalf of its 225th Anniversary employee volunteers.
