The Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) Leads Economic Growth as EIRC Initiative Surpasses $500 Million Milestone

Bermuda Business Development Agency

October 10, 2024 – The Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) is pleased to announce that the Economic Investment Residential Certificate (EIRC) initiative has surpassed $500 million in investments. This milestone reinforces Bermuda’s position as a premier destination for global investors, showcasing the EIRC’s pivotal role in driving sustained economic growth while enhancing the island’s appeal to high-net-worth individuals seeking both exceptional investments and an unmatched island lifestyle. Since its launch in 2021, The BDA has successfully provided concierge services for all EIRC applicants, guiding them through each phase of the process and ensuring a smooth, seamless experience. This tailored approach has been instrumental in driving economic growth, attracting affluent investors from around the world, including the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Spain. With a minimum investment of $2.5 million, participants gain permanent residency in Bermuda and the flexibility to invest in real estate, new and existing local businesses, Government bonds (previously offered), or social causes. To date, 58 approved applications have driven substantial capital into local enterprises and the property market. The EIRC does however offer more than financial benefits; many certificate holders are drawn to Bermuda because of personal connections, whether through birth, marriage, or long-standing relationships with the island. As a result, these stakeholders are not solely investing capital—they have become part of Bermuda’s community. Data shows that nearly half of a country’s economic growth typically originates from individuals already embedded in the community, and Bermuda is no different. By becoming part of the island’s fabric, these stakeholders unlock even greater opportunities for investment and growth, driving Bermuda’s continued economic success. The Honourable Jason Hayward, Minister of Economy and Labour, commented on the programme's success: "The EIRC initiative has proven to be a vital tool for stimulating economic development in Bermuda. By attracting high-net-worth individuals who are not only investing but also establishing Bermuda as their home, we are creating long-term opportunities for the island. Surpassing the $500 million mark is a significant achievement, and we are confident that the BDA and EIRC programme will continue to contribute positively to Bermuda’s economic growth." Kyle Rogers, Research and Intelligence Manager at the BDA, is also responsible for overseeing the concierge service that supports applicants throughout the entire EIRC process. He ensures seamless management of the certificates, providing crucial guidance from initial inquiry, through comprehensive candidate evaluation, to final approval. He stated, "Reaching $500 million is a testament to Bermuda’s unique offering as both a business hub and an exceptional place to live. The EIRC initiative continues to generate significant value by attracting capital and new residents who are committed to the island’s long-term success. We are excited about the programme’s growth and the bright future ahead." Of the total $500 million investment, $212 million has been directed towards new businesses, $231 million into real estate, $49 million into existing local enterprises, $2.6 million into Government bonds, and $6 million into social ventures deemed beneficial to Bermuda and subject to the Minister’s approval. Jonathan Halata, a developer, investor, and successful EIRC applicant, shared his experience: "As Canadians and Brits, my family has been connected to Bermuda since the 1970s. The EIRC wasn’t just about investing money; it was about building a life for my husband and daughter, and contributing to the community my family has become part of." "My investment in Bermuda extends far beyond financial returns—it's about contributing to the development of premier assets like hotels and tourism infrastructure. Island Realty projects like Azura and Nautilus have brought something unique to Bermuda and created dozens of jobs, which are vital for both airlift and the livelihoods of Bermudians. "I see a direct link between the EIRC programme and Bermuda’s future growth. It’s not just about selling homes—it’s about creating lasting opportunities. Multiplying our experience by 10, 50, or 100 could generate significant new jobs for Bermudians." "The EIRC certificate process was much easier than I expected, especially knowing the complexities with immigration and work permits. The BDA’s white-glove service, with Kyle’s personal attention to detail, made a tremendous difference. They delivered exactly what was promised, with a ribbon on top."

NAVEX Lance « La Conformité en France : Le Guide Ultime »

NAVEX Global

NAVEX, le leader mondial des logiciels et services de gestion de la gouvernance, des risques, et de la conformité (GRC), a annoncé le lancement de « La conformité en France: Le guide ultime ». NAVEX aide plus de 13 000 entreprises à travers le monde à gérer et à atténuer les risques en toute confiance. Les programmes de conformité doivent jouer un rôle crucial quotidien à la fois pour garantir le respect des réglementations et pour cultiver une culture éthique. Le lancement d’alerte étant un élément clé de ces efforts. Jan Stappers, directeur des solutions réglementaires chez NAVEX, affirme: « Les organisations pourraient passer à côté d’opportunités si elles ne disposent pas d’un canal pour alerter les gens des risques ou dangers potentiels. Le lancement d’alerte est la meilleure source d’informations sur les actes répréhensibles réels ou potentiels, mais avec autant de réglementations à respecter, le risque actuel est que les entreprises effectuent des exercices de vérification plutôt que d’adopter une approche plus intégrée. » La première partie du guide offre un aperçu détaillé du paysage actuel du lancement d’alerte en France, y compris une explication du contexte culturel et d’informations sur la façon dont le système français se compare à d’autres dans le monde. Une plongée dans les données de lancement d’alerte montre que les niveaux de signalement français augmentent mais restent bas par rapport aux normes européennes, tandis que les rapports français sont moins susceptibles d’être anonymes et ont tendance à prendre plus de temps à traiter que ceux d’autres pays. De plus, la deuxième partie de ce guide présente le cadre réglementaire français, en mettant l’accent sur les défis critiques de conformité et les questions extraterritoriales qui peuvent être particulièrement difficiles à maîtriser pour les entreprises. Au sens large, le respect de toutes les réglementations existantes est devenu un défi majeur, de nombreuses entreprises ne disposant pas de la bande passante nécessaire pour suivre l’évolution du paysage réglementaire. Enfin, la troisième partie de ce rapport couvre en profondeur les lois et réglementations qui sont importantes pour toute entreprise cherchant à naviguer dans le paysage de la conformité et de l’alerte professionnelle en France. La France et le monde: les principales différences à savoir selon les données de NAVEX La France a un taux de lancement d’alerte inférieur à celui de l’Allemagne ou à la moyenne européenne, avec des niveaux de signalement en hausse mais toujours inférieurs aux normes régionales. Il existe des preuves que les rapports français sont plus susceptibles d’être justifiés, avec plus de la moitié s’avérant vrais contres seulement un tiers qui sont attestés en Allemagne. Les rapports français sont beaucoup moins susceptibles d’être anonymes que les pratiques courantes dans d’autres pays et régions. Seulement la moitié des alertes françaises sont effectuées de manière anonyme, contre plus de deux tiers au Royaume-Uni, ce chiffre n’étant qu’en légère hausse ces dernières années. Il est suggéré que les personnes soulevant des préoccupations aujourd’hui ne le feront que s’ils soient plus confiants et directs dans leurs allégations. Les questions de RH, de diversité et de lieu de travail dominent les rapports en France. Les questions de RH, de harcèlement et de discrimination combinées ont représenté près de deux plaintes sur trois adressées aux entreprises françaises en 2023, tandis que les signalements liés aux conflits d’intérêts étaient les quatrièmes problèmes les plus fréquents et représentaient 10 % des signalements. Cliquez- ici pour télécharger le guide ultime de la conformité en France. À propos de NAVEX Des milliers de clients du monde entier font confiance à NAVEX pour les aider à atteindre les résultats qui comptent le plus. En tant que leader mondial des logiciels et services de gestion intégrée des risques et de la conformité, nous proposons nos solutions par le biais de la plateforme NAVEX One, le système d’information le plus complet du secteur en matière de gouvernance, de risque et de conformité (GRC).

MOU BETWEEN THE U.S. AND PERU PROVIDES A STEPPING STONE FOR MINING COMPANIES AT MINEXPO 2024

Promperu

With the new memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between the United States of America (U.S.) and Peru, over 300 delegates -- the largest Peruvian business delegation ever – showed up in force at MINEXPO 2024, the premiere mining conference for the industry. Sponsored by the National Mining Association, it was held recently in Las Vegas. This underscores the importance of the relationship between the U.S. and Peru, a top producer of crucial minerals such as copper, lithium, silver and rare earth elements, essential for manufacturing a range of products, including cell phones, computers, and renewable energy technologies. As the U.S. transitions to green energy, these minerals are vital for producing batteries, electric vehicles, and other clean technologies, potentially saving the country billions in energy costs and enhancing energy independence. “Expanding the supply access to crucial minerals including copper and lithium, both of which are required for green energy technology, is essential,” emphasized Alvaro Silva-Santisteban, the Executive Director of PROMPERU in the U.S., which is the Investment, Trade and Tourism Commission of Peru. “As a result, Peru fortifies its world leadership as a natural location for mining companies seeking to expand production.” The MOU, which was finalized last August, opens the door to more mining opportunities for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and clears the way for the U.S. and Peru to partner on the extraction of a small portion of Peruvian green technologies. “Peru, with its vast reserves of copper, zinc, lithium, and other important minerals, is an invaluable partner for the U.S. as they strive to meet this immense growth in demand,” said José W. Fernández, U.S. Undersecretary for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment, after the signing. The cooperative effort strengthens international investment in strategic resources essential to not only product manufacturing, but green technology as well. “Almost every electric car and smartphone use these minerals, and in Peru, the vast majority of these crucial metals are yet to be mined,” Silva-Santisteban added. “This is a boon for our planet’s future and the Peruvian economy.” According to the Ministry of Energy and Mines, Peru is the world’s second-largest exporter of copper, ranks third for silver, and holds massive reserves of gold, zinc, and lead. Peru holds more than six tons of lithium reserves and the production of eight crucial ‘green minerals,’ minerals that are needed to support the transition to clean energy technologies, such as iron, lead, molybdenum, indium and graphite. “With the MOU and our participation in MINEXPO, bringing together knowledgeable exporters of services, minerals and machinery, the synergies will create an opportunity that will strengthen foreign investment in strategic resources for green technology, which will lead to even greater international developments,” said Silva-Santisteban. Peru, holding the second-largest ore reserves for both silver and copper in the world, also accounts for substantial global reserves of gold (5.6%), zinc (8%), lead (6.2%), and other metals. Peru has 31 copper projects across 14 regions, representing a potential investment of nearly $39.8 billion. Minister of Energy and Mines, Rómulo Mucho Mamani, highlighted that Peru holds 11% of the world's copper reserves and that these projects could yield an additional two million tons of copper. ### For more information please visit: www.PROMPERU.gob.pe Contact Details The Hoyt Organization Kelly Reynolds +1 310-343-3197 kreynolds@hoytorg.com

AM Europe

København, Danmark - [October, 4th] - Danmarks spil- og gamblingkultur fortsætter med at blomstre, præget af innovative nye spil, spændende begivenheder og et stærkt engagement i ansvarligt spil. Med en rig spilhistorie omfavner danske spillere de nyeste trends, samtidig med at de nyder godt af en robust lovgivningsmæssig beskyttelse, der sikrer et sikkert spilmiljø. Spændende nye spil lanceres dette efterår Denne sæson vil flere spilleselskaber lancere spændende nye titler, der lover at forbedre spiloplevelsen for danske spillere. Fra fordybende online slots til engagerende live dealer-spil kan spillerne se frem til banebrydende grafik og innovativt gameplay. Bemærkelsesværdige udgivelser inkluderer " Viking Quest ", en spændende eventyrautomat, der fejrer Danmarks rige historie, og "Nordic Roulette", der kombinerer klassisk casino-spænding med et tydeligt dansk twist. Store casino-begivenheder i horisonten Casino Copenhagen gør klar til sit årlige "Danish Poker Championship", hvor spillere fra hele landet vil konkurrere om pengepræmier og den eftertragtede mesterskabstitel. Arrangementet finder sted den 15.-17. november og vil tiltrække både erfarne professionelle og entusiastiske amatører. Deltagerne kan forvente en weekend fyldt med dygtighed, strategi og kammeratskab, der afspejler den livlige ånd i Danmarks pokersamfund. Forpligtelse til ansvarligt spil Danmark er stolt af sine stærke lovgivningsmæssige rammer, som sikrer, at spilaktiviteter udføres retfærdigt og ansvarligt. Den danske Spillemyndighed fører tilsyn med alle spiloperationer og håndhæver strenge regler, der beskytter spillerne. Dansk lov kræver, at operatørerne giver klar information om risici ved spil, så spillerne kan træffe informerede valg. Desuden er initiativer, der har til formål at fremme ansvarligt spil, i højsædet i det danske spillelandskab. Spillere opfordres til at sætte grænser for deres forbrug, og mange operatører tilbyder muligheder for selvudelukkelse for at hjælpe dem, der måske har brug for en pause fra spil. What is ROFUS? ROFUS, det danske onlinespilleregister, er et vigtigt initiativ, der er etableret for at fremme ansvarligt spil i hele Danmark. ROFUS administreres af Spillemyndigheden og giver spillere mulighed for frivilligt at udelukke sig selv fra at deltage i onlinespil, siger spil-uden-om-rofus.net. Denne brugervenlige platform giver enkeltpersoner mulighed for at tage kontrol over deres spillevaner ved at sætte personlige grænser eller vælge en midlertidig eller permanent selvudelukkelse. ROFUS blev lanceret for at forbedre spillernes sikkerhed og sikrer, at personer, der kan være i fare for at få spilleproblemer, kan søge hjælp og få adgang til støtte. Ved at stille et centralt register til rådighed fremmer det ikke kun en kultur med ansvarligt spil, men styrker også integriteten i spilindustrien i Danmark. En kultur af fællesskab og sjov Danske spillere nyder godt af en unik blanding af sociale spiloplevelser, både online og på fysiske kasinoer. Kammeratskabet mellem spillerne er et afgørende træk ved den danske spillekultur, hvor deling af strategier og fejring af gevinster skaber et indbydende miljø. I takt med at branchen udvikler sig, er Danmark fortsat forpligtet til at fremme en sikker og fornøjelig spilleatmosfære. Med nye spil, spændende events og ansvarlige regler på plads ser fremtiden for spil og gambling i Danmark lysere ud end nogensinde. Contact Details Oliver Damgaard +45 27 35 72 27 oliver@cspeed.com

Kevel Named to Newsweek’s List of The Top 200 America’s Most Loved Workplaces for 2024

Kevel

Newsweek Magazine today published the annual America’s Top Most Loved Workplaces® list, developed by Most Loved Workplace®, a division of Best Practice Institute (BPI). Kevel has been honored with a place in the top 20, being ranked # 18 out of the 200 companies included in the list. This marks the fourth annual Most Loved Workplace® list. This year, the list has expanded to the Top 200, reflecting companies' growing commitment to prioritizing employee sentiment and creating workplaces that employees love. The results were determined after surveying more than 2.6 million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from less than 50 to more than 10,000. The list recognizes companies that put respect, caring, and appreciation for their employees at the center of their business model and, in doing so, have earned the loyalty and respect of the people who work for them. “We are so proud about our inclusion on the Most Loved Workplace® list,” said Mike Kohn, Chief People Officer at Kevel. “We have focused on building a people-first organization since our founding, and have used our values as a north star as we scaled our company. We routinely use engagement surveys and qualitative check-ins both to keep a pulse on how we are working as well as to identify trends and insights that enable us to drive actions in support of building a workplace where everyone can thrive.” How positive workers feel about their future at the company, career achievement, how much employer values align with employee values, respect at all levels, and the level of collaboration at the firm were the five critical areas measured to gauge employee sentiment. In addition, areas such as inclusion, diversity, equity and belonging, career development, and company leadership were identified and analyzed in relation to the five critical areas measured. “It’s inspiring to see the list expand this year to 200 companies, a clear indication that organizations are truly committed to creating workplaces where employees feel valued and connected. We’re thrilled to celebrate their achievements as this recognition continues to grow.” - Nancy Cooper, Newsweek’s Global Editor in Chief To view Kevel’s ranking and the top honored companies view the Top 20 Most Loved Workplaces in America or view the full list of the 2024 America’s Top 200 Most Loved Workplaces®.
