Runners-up

Royal Bank of Canada (Private, Canada)

The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) is one of Canada’s largest banks and offers personal and commercial banking, insurance, corporate, investment banking and other financial services around the globe.[i] RBC states that there are certain types of clients and transactions it “avoids in all cases”. Such clients and transactions include “the financing of companies manufacturing or trading in equipment or material for nuclear, chemical or biological warfare, landmines or cluster bombs”.[ii] The scope of this prohibition is not clear. No exclusion list is published.

It is unclear whether Royal Bank of Canada’s exclusion policy applies to all activities of nuclear weapons producing companies. The potential loopholes in their policy are illustrated by RBC’s continued provision of loans, investment banking and asset management in a number of the nuclear weapons producers identified in this report (this financing is detailed in the Hall of Shame). Because investments were found by Royal Bank of Canada in companies listed in this report as nuclear weapon producers, and because Royal Bank of Canada did not provide additional information on their policy, they are not listed in the Hall of Fame but in the Runners-up category instead. We commend Royal Bank of Canada for their policy and encourage them to further strengthen the policy so they may be listed in the Hall of Fame in our next report.
