Eco-Efficiency MATERIAL TOPIC
Context
• Smart cities need to embody the principle of eco-efficiency – doing more with less. We are at the early stages of a green building revolution.
• The drive to eco-efficiency will occur through technological innovation and through behavioural change.
Materiality and Strategy
TD operates out of more than 3,000 facilities located in urban and suburban centres. These include corporate and business centres, data centres, call centres and our extensive retail banking network.
Our environmental strategy is founded on a commitment to contin- uously improve the eco-efficiency of our business operations. We focus on reducing energy use, paper, waste and water.
Energy use associated with building operations is the source of 62% of our carbon emissions, with information technology (IT) representing an additional 18% of emissions. Improving the eco-efficiency of our buildings and business operations is key to reducing carbon emissions.
