Corporate Social Responsibility
We believe in giving back. Through meal donations and lighting up our building for special causes, RBC Place London supports organizations that make a difference in our community, shining a light on important issues.
Meal Donations
Partnering with local groups to help our unhoused neighbours:

In 2020, RBC Place London developed a partnership with London Food Bank to prepare meals for individuals in the community experiencing homelessness. London Food Bank funds the meals, RBC Place London prepares them, and 519Pursuit delivers the meals to the community.
Since its inception, the culinary team at RBC Place London has prepared more than 125,000 meals for this program helping to support hundreds of unhoused Londoners and those experiencing extreme poverty, who are struggling to survive while facing systemic exclusion and discrimination. This community partnership continues today.
Donating extra food items and diverting food waste:
We are happy to donate extra food items to Mission Services. Any food items determined by the Executive Chef or Sous Chef to be of good quality are packaged by RBC Place London staff and sent to Mission Services. In 2023, we donated 4,860 meals and prevented fresh and healthy food items from going to waste.
Business Cares Food Drive

In 2023, we collected and donated 330lbs of canned goods and $410 to the London Food Bank as part of the Business Care Food Drive. The local initiative, which always kicks off with a media event in our central foyer, calls on London's citizens and businesses to help support over 40 programs and social agencies by collecting and donating food to the London Food Bank.

RBC Place London illuminates the exterior of the building in different colours to show support and raise awareness for various causes and organizations.
