Over 500 trees were planted by TD employees during a reforestation event.
We believe that TD has a role to play in the environment through our roles as an employer, a consumer of goods and services, a major lender and a charitable donor.
Each year we learn more about - and, in turn, adopt - ways to reduce our direct environmental impacts so we can help cultivate a greener future. These encompass energy conservation, materials recycling and waste-reduction initiatives. Plus we're proactive in the community through the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, which since 1990 has provided more than $40 million to more than 16,000 grassroots projects geared to protect the earth and its species for future generations.
