In 2003, ‘The Greenrock Project’ was registered under the Bermuda Charities Act.

and environmental harmony in Bermuda, through education and entertainment.
Overtime, our goal is to encourage and empower individuals and companies to do their
part in making Bermuda socially, economically and environmentally sustainable for
future generations. This can only be achieved if Greenrock is able to act as a catalyst

to meet the objectives required for sustainable development in Bermuda.
