What We're Doing

 

Taking Initiative on the Environment

Since 1991, we've been taking important steps to develop programs that recognize the balance between a sustainable environment, healthy communities and economic performance. Our initiatives support our environmental priorities, which include reducing our demand on the environment, lending and investing responsibly, and providing our clients with financial products and services that help enable them to reduce their environmental footprint. This is how RBC is contributing to the preservation of our environment and economy for future generations.

We believe our work in this area will provide short- and long-term returns for our shareholders, clients and employees. In working towards a healthy balance between environmental concerns and the economy, we've developed policies, programs and products designed to promote our priorities and leverage the business opportunities presented by growing environmental markets.
