RBC Capital Markets's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Royal Bank of Canada

RBC Capital Markets, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. However, the organisation is part of a corporate family that includes the Royal Bank of Canada, from which it inherits emissions data and climate commitments. As a current subsidiary, RBC Capital Markets aligns its climate initiatives with those of its parent company. The Royal Bank of Canada has made significant strides in sustainability, although specific reduction targets or achievements for RBC Capital Markets are not detailed. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the firm may be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. RBC Capital Markets is committed to broader industry standards and initiatives, including participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), which is cascaded from the Royal Bank of Canada. This involvement indicates a commitment to transparency and accountability in climate-related disclosures. In summary, while specific emissions data and reduction targets for RBC Capital Markets are not available, the firm is positioned within a larger corporate framework that prioritises climate action and sustainability.
