RFHL Reinforces Its Commitment To Making A Difference

On October 12, Republic Financial Holdings Limited (RFHL) officially became one of the signatories to the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB). This partnership - a first within the English speaking Caribbean - commits the Group to strategically align its business with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.

From a Group perspective, the signing resonated deeply with us as it aligned with our principles and core values for a more equitable and sustainable society. In fact, for over ten decades, the Republic Group has been committed to strengthening and developing the communities we serve. For the last 20 years, the Power to Make a Difference programme - along with its many partners - have championed regional development that improves the quality of life and enables sustainable societies.

As the reach of the Republic Group expands, so does our desire to Make a Difference. Built on four pillars: the Power to Learn, the Power to Care, the Power to Help and the Power to Succeed, and partnering with various organisations across the Caribbean, the Power to Make a Difference programme is doing its part to ensure that the region is not ‘left behind’. Recent partnerships with government agencies like the Institute of Marine Affairs in Trinidad and Tobago served as a testament to the Group’s commitment to supporting economic diversification through investment in initiatives like The Blue Economy.

Through the Power to Make a Difference programme, RFHL is undoubtedly on course for achieving the goals outlined in the Principles for Responsible Banking, and by extension facilitating the Caribbean region in achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
