RBC Social Finance Initiative

The initiative is comprised of:

• A $10-million pool of capital committed to impact investing that will provide much-needed financing to enterprises tackling social or environmental challenges while generating a financial return;
• An investment of $10-million of the RBC Foundation’s assets in Socially Responsible Investments (SRI) through PH&N’s Community Value Funds;
• Support for research, development of knowledge networks, and thought leadership that will catalyze the growth of social and environmental entrepreneurship in Canada.

By encouraging enterprises to provide market-based solutions to environmental and social issues, social finance can open doors to new opportunities, drive economic growth, protect our environment, allow communities to reach their full potential, and offer a brighter and more sustainable future to all. RBC hopes that our commitment to social finance in Canada will not only spark entrepreneurship and innovation, but will also encourage other organizations to make similar investments that generate positive social and environmental change.
