RBC Financial Group named to 2007 Dow Jones Sustainability
Index
TORONTO, September 6, 2006 —
For the seventh 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. RBC was also named to
the DJSI North America Index.
These indices list 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 indices are
recognized as leading their industries in best practices.
The Dow Jones Sustainability World Indexes 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 Canadian companies that are included
on the 2007 indices.
