About RBC Social Finance
The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) is Canada’s largest bank and one of the largest banks in
the world based on market capitalization. We are one of North America’s leading diversified
financial services companies, and provide personal and commercial banking, wealth
management services, insurance, investor services and capital markets products and
services on a global basis. We employ approximately 79,000 full- and part-time employees
who serve more than 15 million personal, business, public sector and institutional clients

RBC is recognized among the world’s financial, social and environmental leaders. In 2012,
RBC launched its social finance initiative, which is designed to ignite the growth of social
finance in Canada. The initiative finances and nurtures businesses that intentionally seek
to make positive contributions to the community, and it demonstrates the opportunity to
invest in a manner that delivers social, environmental and financial returns. We hope that our
commitment to social finance in Canada will not only spark entrepreneurship and innovation,
but also encourage other organizations to make similar investments that generate positive
social and environmental change. For more information, please visit rbc.com/socialfinance.
