 TORONTO,
September 3, 2009 — For the tenth consecutive year,
RBC has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index,
an annual review that recognizes the world's financial, social

of asset managers who use the DJSI family as objective benchmarks
for sustainability portfolios.

In 2009, RBC was named one of the world's top 100 sustainable
companies, one of Canada's Greenest Employers, one of Canada's
Best Diversity Employers, one of Canada's 50 Most Socially
Responsible Corporations and one of the Best Workplaces in
Canada. RBC is also listed on the Jantzi Social Index and
the FTSE4Good Index. RBC was among 67 companies and one of
only 18 financial institutions worldwide named to the Carbon
Disclosure Leadership Index 2008, a prestigious honour roll
