20 Directors’ Report continued

As steady progress continues to be made in the Group’s ongoing drive to invest US$200 Million in climate financing by 2025, those
efforts are strongly supplemented by focused support of regional sustainability-related projects like the “Our Climate Reality”
TV series in Grenada that promotes the importance of water; the “Engaging Our Community in Caring for Our Coral Reefs” reef
ecosystems restoration and conservation programme in Barbados; and the annual Cayman Islands Chamber of Commerce Earth
Day clean-up event.

Collaborations with the Trinidad and Tobago Cancer Society, the Cayman Islands Cancer Society, the Barbados Diabetes Foundation,
and Transplant Links Community, to name a few, helped provide relief to many in using the Power to Care.

In providing opportunities through the Power to Succeed, the Group partnered with the Rotary Club of Dominica, the Rotary Club
of St. Vincent, the Daren Sammy Foundation in Saint Lucia, Polytechnic College Suriname, and the Anguilla Sailing Association.

Similarly, with the goal being to provide education access to many through the Power to Learn, partnerships grew stronger with
Pennacool.com in Trinidad and Tobago, University of Ghana Business School and the National Partnership for Children’s Trust in
Ghana.

With principles of community engagement at the fore, using the Power to Help created the means to build capacity, particularly
among those in need. During the period, the Group pledged support for the Garden of Rebirth in St. Kitts and Nevis for domestic
violence victims; the special needs-based 721 Kids Foundation in St. Maarten, and the Women Across Differences empowerment
programme for adolescent mothers in Guyana.

As more continues to be done in working alongside diverse communities to achieve sustainable growth and development, Republic
Financial Holdings Limited eagerly looks ahead as this journey to build successful societies unfolds; committed to fulfilling the
greatest promise of our People, Planet, Progress and Communities.
