 RBC is committed to reducing the depth and breadth of our operational footprint by reducing our enterprise-wide greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts. That is why, in 2006, we developed the Sourcing, Operations, Facilities and Travel Environmental Footprint Reduction Program (SOFT Footprint) to help us reduce our demand on natural systems while managing our costs more efficiently. Areas covered under SOFT Footprint include energy use and facility management, travel, paper use and responsible sourcing.
The objectives of SOFT Footprint are to:
- Enhance our environmental data collection system so that it more accurately reflects our worldwide operational footprint;
- Identify areas where we can reduce our demand on natural systems;
- Enable RBC’s emissions reduction target setting strategy;
- Provide cost management opportunities; and
- Improve our reporting accuracy and procedures.
We have also used SOFT Footprint to coordinate our impact reduction initiatives, which are listed in our SOFT Footprint Reduction Initiatives Performance Report.
