Corporate responsibility is an integral part of our business and PwC’s purpose, and we would like to thank our people for their incredible efforts in raising these funds for The Bahamas.”
Prince A. Rahming, PwC Bahamas, Territory Leader, said: “We are grateful for everyone’s thoughts and offers of assistance during this most difficult time in our nation. We are truly thankful that all our employees are accounted for and are safe, but we acknowledge and are deeply saddened that there were others who were not so fortunate. Our thoughts and prayers are with those families who have suffered loss of loved ones. Our partners and staff are fully engaged in the recovery efforts now as we seek as a nation to address the immediate needs of those most impacted and return the country to some level of normalcy.”
