RBC Volunteers Clean Simpson Bay Beach More than 20 RBC Royal Bank volunteers cleaned up Simpson Bay Beach on June 20, 2015, in an effort to help make the turtle-nesting area on that beach more accessible for the endangered Hawksbill, Leatherback and Green sea turtles. The beach clean-up was organised in conjunction with Nature Foundation St. Maarten (NFS), and initiated in connection with the “RBC Blue Water Day 2015 Project,” which is the environmental priority programme for RBC Royal Bank. The project focuses on the preservation of the world’s most precious natural resource: water. “RBC in St. Maarten has been committed to clean Guana Bay in the past and now Simpson Bay for the duration of the turtle-nesting season from March until November each year and commits to support with building awareness on sea turtle nesting,” RBC said in a press release. “This project of cleaning up the beach for the turtle nestingseason ï¬ ts perfectly into RBC’s philosophy on the sustainable development of the environment. RBC Royal Bank ï¬ rmly believes that it is the responsibility of the bank to positively infl uence the social development of the community in which it operates by maximizing its contributions to the state of environment of the island.”
