2012 Initiatives LEED Projects

Green IT

• As of the end of 2012, we have completed 71 LEED projects – totalling over 750,000 square feet, including new builds and retrofits of existing facilities.

• 83% of total LEED projects are at the Gold or Platinum certification levels.

• 100% of new retail locations in the U.S. were built to achieve LEED certification, and we will continue to apply this policy.

• TD was the first company in Canada to achieve a Platinum certification under the Existing Buildings rating system, for a branch in London, Ontario.

Energy Star

• The Energy Star portfolio manager is an interactive energy management tool to track and assess energy and water consump- tion across a portfolio of buildings. In 2012, approximately 85% of TD’s retail and corporate locations are assessed using this tool.

Net-Zero

• TD’s two net-zero-energy branches (located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and London, Ontario), which opened in 2011, are now tracking to net-zero (which means they both produce as much energy as they use).

Solar Panels Living Roof FlexWork Space

Lighting Upgrades

• TD has 1.3 megawatts of installed solar capacity spanning over 68 sites across North America. Our new data centre has more than 250 panels.

• In partnership with Cadillac-Fairview, we replaced the roof on TD’s main retail branch in Toronto with a living roof.

• This corporate office program integrates energy-efficient design and desk-sharing to improve use of office space and increase opportunities for our employees to work from home.

• Our new lighting LED standard will provide the most efficient lighting for commercial and retail buildings in North America.

Thin Clients

Implementation of energy-efficient information technologies (IT) and behaviours is critical to achieving our energy reduction targets. Through our Green IT strategy, we seek to:

• Design and operate data centres to optimize energy efficiency; • Optimize IT equipment utilization; and • Virtualize and consolidate hardware.

Green IT Initiatives Data Centres

Data centres are critical to TD’s operation as they support the delivery of information about products and services to our customers. These large facilities account for a significant portion of TD’s total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2012 we opened our new LEED Gold data centre design, which boasts 235 kWh of solar power generation to reduce our energy use.

Server and Storage Virtualization

We improved our server and storage virtualization programs to further reduce space occupied and energy usage.

• In two years, storage virtualization has avoided 2.8 million kWh (equivalent to 648 metric tonnes of CO2

e).

• Since 2009, PC power management has avoided 22 million kWh (equivalent to 9,562 metric tonnes of CO2

e).

TD has installed 10,000 thin-client devices to replace desktop and laptop PCs. These units use 33% of the energy required by a standard desktop.

Video-Conferencing

In 2012, we avoided 2.6 million kilometres of travel through the use of video-conferencing (equivalent to 344 CO2

electricity use). + Detailed Environmental Performance (PDF) e saved from
