on Business placed RBC Financial Group fifth

in Canada. The comprehensive review of Canada’s
most prominent boards examined a wide range of key
governance factors, including board independence
from management, share ownership by directors and
stock option programs. |

Canada's most respected corporation |

In 2004, RBC Financial Group
was named “ Canada’s
Most Respected Corporation” in
an annual survey conducted by Ipsos
Reid for KPMG. This marks the third
consecutive year that we have received
this honour, and the fifth time
in the last 10 years. The survey
asked 263 of Canada’s leading
CEOs to name the companies they
most respected. For the 10th consecutive
year, we were also named the top
corporation in the category of “Corporate
Social Responsibility” recognizing
our charitable giving, sponsorships
and employee volunteerism. |
