Gord Nixon: Supplier Code of Conduct

supplier code of conduct: The bank, which released a new supplier code of conduct, said it will only send work to offshore suppliers when their scale, technology or knowledge provides capabilities the bank cannot duplicate, according to Times Colonist. The supplier code of conduct was part of a package of promises made by RBC chief executive Gord Nixon in April following a controversy over the bank's decision to outsource the work of about 45 employees to iGate, which used the temporary foreign worker program and TORONTO - The Royal Bank TSX:RY , which faced a fierce backlash earlier this year over an outsourcing arrangement involving the use of temporary foreign workers, said Friday it won't send work offshore just to save on salaries. "For example, RBC's Canadian client call centres are located in Canada, supporting RBC's domestic and U.S. business, and they will remain in Canada despite the trend in many industries to offshore them," the bank said in a statement.
