Global Compact International Yearbook 2013
We know that starting and running
a business can be both exciting and
challenging. We understand that en-
trepreneurs and businesses need the
right combination of support, advice,
and funding to succeed. That is why we
provide a wide range of products and
services for businesses of all shapes and
sizes, in every sector of the economy.
We also know that people need help to
explore the idea of enterprise, unlock
their potential, and gain the right skills,
knowledge, and networks before they
can achieve their ambitions. This is what
Inspiring Enterprise is all about.
Inspiring Enterprise draws together the
work that we do – including our work
with partners and charities – to help
people explore and develop their enter-
prise potential. While we will always
support entrepreneurs and businesses
of all shapes and sizes, we are focus-
ing additional efforts on three groups
that could play a stronger role in the
entrepreneurial economy, if given more
support.
RBS Inspiring Enterprise
Royal Bank of Scotland Group
The RBS Group has been a signatory of the UN Global Compact since 2003. We support
the Compact, as we believe that the resources available to businesses can be leveraged to
create sustainable development and more sustainable economies across the globe. As part of
building a sustainable RBS, we recognize the responsibility we have to be a positive force in
the communities in which we operate. One of the ways in which we do this is by encouraging
a more entrepreneurial culture. From the classroom to the boardroom, we are inspiring and
enabling enterprise at every stage of the journey.
