RBC Financial Group named to 2006 Dow Jones Sustainability
Index
September 7, 2005 — For
the sixth consecutive year, RBC Financial Group has been named
to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, an annual review
that recognizes the world's financial, social and environmental
corporate leaders.
The 2006 Index lists companies from around the world that
lead their industries in terms of sustainability, a business
approach to creating long-term shareholder value by taking
on opportunities and managing risks stemming from economic,
environmental and social developments. Companies included
on the Index are recognized as being the top 10 per cent in
corporate sustainability, leading their industries in best
practices.
RBC was selected because of its commitment to environmental
and social standards and strong financial results.
 The
Dow Jones Sustainability World Indexes were introduced in
1999 and were the first global indices to track the financial
performance of leading sustainability-driven companies worldwide.
The annual review influences the investment decisions of asset
managers who use the DJSI family as objective benchmarks for
sustainability portfolios.
RBC congratulates the other 11 Canadian companies that are
included on the 2006 Index.
