59 Engaging stakeholders
Proactive engagement with our environmental stakeholders is the final component of TD’s environmental program. Our key environmental stakeholders include: • Stakeholders who are interested in our financing activities; • Employees; and • Our community partners. Involving Employees
Our employees are our biggest environmental advocates. Not only do they spot opportunities to reduce our environmental footprint, they also raise awareness of TD’s environmental programs with customers. Independent surveys identify TD’s employees among the most environmentally engaged of our peer group of large corporations.
In 2012 we continued to build our employee programs:
• The U.S. Green Council includes executives from across TD Bank. With their support, we’ve developed a strategy and are working to engage employees on environmental topics.
• TD green nation is a web-based employee engagement tool that allows employees to pledge and accomplish green acts in the work- place, at home or through volunteer- ing in the community. In keeping with TD’s focus on energy, performance can also be measured in terms of carbon. The tool was launched in Canada during 2011 and expanded to the U.S. in 2012. In just one year, the number of users has doubled to over 4,900 members, with over 9,500 tonnes of carbon savings.
• TD has approximately 75 Green Teams (purely voluntary groups) in our corporate offices across Canada. In each one of our 1,100 branches, a Green Coordinator acts as a “point person” for environmental initiatives and campaigns. In 2012 we started to develop Green Teams for U.S. employees.
• With the launch of TD’s social media platform, we created an internal social media community, Environment @ TD, that is accessible to over 98% of TD’s employees. This free format tool allows us to have direct conversations and share knowledge on environmental matters.
TD was named one of Canada’s 2012 Green 30 by Maclean’s magazine.
