47 Reducing our operational footprint


Our environmental challenge is to continue to reduce the environmental impact of TD’s business operations as the company grows. Our key areas of focus in managing our environmental footprint are:


• Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; • Improving energy efficiency; • Reducing paper use; • Reducing waste volumes and water use; and • Greening our supply chain.
