Hybrid Vehicles Loan Recognition Program

Because transportation is one of the greatest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions in Canada, choosing a low-emission hybrid car, or SUV can make a big difference in reducing your environmental footprint.

Hybrid cars run on a combination of gas and rechargeable electricity that produces fewer pollutants and provides a much higher gas mileage—most models get 24 to 26 kilometers per litre. The smaller environmental impact and fuel cost savings make a hybrid vehicle a smart purchase.¹

We want to thank you for choosing hybrid vehicle technology by donating $50 to the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) for every new hybrid vehicle purchased using an RBC Royal Bank car loan.²

NCC is Canada's leading not-for-profit land conservation organization, dedicated to the preservation of Canada's diverse and endangered landscapes and the species-at-risk that live there. Since 1962 NCC has focused its efforts on highly threatened landscapes and to date has protected nearly two million acres across the country. Over the next five years, NCC plans to conserve another 700 important forest, grassland, and wetland properties across Canada -- an additional 500,000 acres of critical natural habitat.

Working right across Canada, on many different types of landscapes, and with many different communities, NCC is ensuring a stronger, longer-lasting, positive impact. Forests, grasslands, and wetlands all provide a direct benefit to our communities and our country by supplying natural habitat for plants and animals, maintaining biodiversity, and cleansing the water we drink and the air we breathe. Healthy ecosystems play an important role in defending our world against climate change.

The money we raise together will go towards supporting NCC's direct action of protecting great natural places across the country. The funds raised will also help NCC ensure that nature's places will be there, in a healthy and productive state for future generations, by allowing NCC to expand its land stewardship program of engaging local communities across the country in the care of the land.
