I believe that a company's actions speak louder than
its words. At RBC, corporate responsibility can be seen
in how we govern
our business with integrity, have a positive economic
impact, operate
with integrity in the marketplace, provide a supportive
workplace, support
environmental sustainability,
and contribute to communities.
This website is structured to reflect these areas of
focus.

* All figures refer to our worldwide
operations, unless otherwise noted.
** Effective 2008, we have excluded statutory holiday
pay for part-time employees from our full-time equivalent
(FTE) calculation consistent with our management reporting
framework. All comparative amounts reflect the change
to the FTE calculation.
*** Every year we strive to improve the coverage and
robustness of our environmental footprint indicators.
In 2008, we expanded our energy data coverage to 65%
of our global floor area, compared to 35% in 2007. We
are now able to report energy data not fully available
in prior years for properties in Canada, the U.S. and
the British Isles.
For 2008, we have included data for some of our more
emission intensive areas, such as major leased premises
in Canada, the U.S. and the British Isles (such as data
centres) and branches in the U.S. Due to this more comprehensive
reporting in 2008, our reported CO2e emissions are higher
than those in 2007.
