BELCO also organises various initiatives throughout the year, such as raising funds through Denim Days to support organisations and participating in food and supply drives for local familes through local charities such as the Royal Bermuda Regiment and the Coalition for the Protection of Children.
As a fundamental part of the fabric of Bermuda, we are driven by our commitment to serve our local community, and operate in the long-term public interest. Our obligation to serve Bermuda is not just our mission, it’s in our company DNA and we will continue to support our community and invest in Bermuda beyond the grid.
