We have a responsibility to manage our resources in a way that promotes the long-term sustainability of the environment. That includes paying attention to vital matters like climate change and the health of forest ecosystems so that we can focus our efforts on making a positive difference in these areas.
Our environmental efforts are wide-ranging - from improving energy conservation, waste diversion and green procurement, to promoting environmental stewardship through our lending activities, to funding community projects through our TD Friends of the Environment Foundation.
