Development of a Framework and Operational Manual for a Green Register of Companies
A Climate-Resilient Marine Spatial Plan will guide the protection and sustainable use of the Virgin Islands’ marine environment. It will define key zones for conservation, fisheries, recreation, and development—supporting climate resilience while enabling a balanced blue economy.
Introduction
The Virgin Islands is a global leader in international financial services, serving particularly as a premier jurisdiction for company incorporation, investment funds and asset management. The Territory consistently ranks among the top offshore jurisdictions.
Building on this success, there is an opportunity to innovate by creating a “Green Register of Companies” to tap into voluntary corporate giving from companies incorporated in The Virgin Islands to support climate resiliency and mitigation initiatives.
The Impact
This project will develop a framework and Operational Manual for an alternative “Green Register of Companies” operating in parallel with the traditional Register of Companies. The Green Register would be structured to attract and facilitate voluntarily contributions from registered companies to The Virgin Islands Climate Change Trust Fund to support various resiliency and greening projects to meet corporate social responsibility requirements.
