HOW WE OPERATE RESPONSIBLE BANKING WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE


The Environment as a Key Driver of the Economy


A message from Karen Clarke-Whistler Chief Environment Officer, TD Bank Group


The TD brand has been connected with the environment for more than 25 years. Through the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation we have supported and collaborated with environmental groups on over 24,000 local environmental initiatives.


In 2007, we set out to embed an environmental perspective in our overall business strategy, an approach aimed at both reducing risk and generating business value. In 2010, we set challenging


five-year goals and targets and had met or exceeded most of these by the end of 2015, demonstrating the strong link between environmental performance and strong business results.


Preparing now for the future – 2016 and beyond We are living in a time of change in which traditional social conventions and economic models are being challenged. As a society, we know what we want our destination to be – a prosperous and sustainable low-carbon economy. We believe this is possible and that as a major bank committed to environmental leadership we have a key role to play in the transition to this new economy. The opportunities it brings far outweigh the costs.


As we refresh our environmental strategy over the course of 2016, we need to ask ourselves: What do we want the planet to look like in 2030? In 2050? What should we be doing now to prepare? Key considerations as we develop our 2016–20 strategy will include:


• Low-carbon economy: New North American national and regional carbon policies and regulations are currently in development. Our business needs to support this transition.


• Climate resilience: Changing temperature regimes and increases in severe weather events are a reality in many regions in which we operate.


• Livable cities: Today, 54% of the global population lives in urban areas, up from 34% in 1960, and this trend continues to grow.1


The livability of these areas will drive their


economic success – better public transportation, low pollution, energy efficiency and green spaces are vital.
