The Prince’s Canadian Responsible Business Network

Dec 16 2014

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, alongside Dame Julia Cleverdon and a team of executives, recently launched his Canadian Responsible Business Network (PCRBN), a national business-led initiative to advance youth employment. Led by founding partners George Weston Ltd., KPMG, RBC and Scotiabank, the new network is working in Canadian neighbourhoods facing severe social and economic challenges. The official launch took place on Oct. 15, 2014, at a dinner hosted at RBC Plaza in Toronto. In a video message recorded specially for the occasion, the Prince of Wales expressed his advocacy for strengthening these communities with Seeing Is Believing, a learning program he designed to enable Canadian business leaders to create opportunities for disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Event attendees included senior business executives representing PCRBN’s founding partners and Dame Julia Cleverdon, and the Prince’s special advisor on responsible business, who travelled from London for the event.
