Diversity and Inclusion

A Core Value, Business Priority and Key Strength

From coast to coast, the communities we serve are becoming increasingly diverse. Being inclusive of the diverse resources of our businesses, geographies, markets and people help position our firm for long-term growth.

RBC Wealth Management diversity initiatives support inclusiveness for various aspects of diversity such as gender, ethnicity, physical and mental abilities, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, religion and socioeconomic status. In addition to these differences, we also welcome the full range of employees’ thoughts, opinions and perspectives.

Strategic vision: creating tangible outcomes

The enterprise-wide RBC Diversity Blueprint™ conveys RBC’s view of diversity and outlines our priorities and objectives. The three priorities of the Diversity Blueprint are:

Talent and the Workplace: Increase the diversity and inclusion of our workforce globally, with a focus on increasing representation of women and minorities in senior management levels.

Marketplace: Offer customized and accessible services and products to diverse client markets and support supplier diversity programs in North America.

Community: Support the economic and social development of our communities through leadership in research, strategic partnerships, donations and sponsorships.

In support of the RBC Diversity Blueprint, RBC Wealth Management’s goal is to:

• Define diversity and inclusion through a “wealth management lens,” refining the business case and assessing our current representation.
• Attract, develop and retain the best client-facing professionals to reflect the diverse communities we serve.
