A world of opportunity
From tennis ace Andy Murray to the excitement of Formula One. From cricket and golf, to baseball and 6 Nations rugby. In sport, as in business, we always aim to make it happen.

RBS ambassadors Sir Jackie Stewart, Andy Murray, Jack Nicklaus, Luke Donald and Paula Creamer represent the company's commitment to high-profile global sport. The mixture of sporting legends and up-and-coming stars is a measure of RBS's proud heritage and our vision for the future.
It's a future in which we hope to see the RBS-sponsored AT&T Williams team win the Formula One World Championship. A future that will place golfers Luke Donald and Paula Creamer, and tennis sensation Andy Murray at the very top of their sports. And a future in which rugby's RBS 6 Nations Championship and NatWest cricket will continue to go from strength to strength.
Sport is all about success. In 2007, RBS enjoyed a huge slice of that when the Indianapolis Colts won the Super Bowl. The Colts are sponsored by Charter One, part of the RBS group. The Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 will create even more opportunities through our partnership with the Bank of China - a long-time investor in Chinese sport and the official banking partner of the Games.
However, away from the top level of sport, we have an equally important role to play in local communities. NatWest CricketForce has become England's biggest volunteer initiative, with around 80,000 people helping out at local cricket clubs. The RBS First Tee Mentoring Program is providing young people in America with learning opportunities and life skills through golf, while the Philadelphia Phillies, who play at Citizens Bank Park, are committed to local baseball development.
Success in sport means all of these things. For RBS, our vision is clear - to make it happen.
