page 54 Our success is deeply interconnected with the well-being of communities that support our business, as well as the relationships we have in the communities we serve. We want to see our communities thrive. Not only is it the right thing to do to help ensure access to financial services, but economies grow faster and for longer periods when prosperity is distributed more equitably across segments of the population.1 There continues to be economic fallout from COVID-19, particularly among low-income and marginalized communities.3 While economies are beginning to recover after the initial shock of the pandemic, many individuals and communities continue to struggle to save or maintain their financial health. In order to continue serving the unique needs of our customers and help them to address the negative impacts of the pandemic, TD focuses on providing equitable access to banking and addressing our customers' financial health and education. This is core to our journey to foster financial inclusion and promote inclusive economic growth across our footprint.3 1 https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/public-and-social-sector/our-insights/the-case-for-inclusive-growth | ||

ESG Report pages 63-64 We strive to make a positive impact through our operations, and we are dedicated to supporting and helping expand the economic and social capacity of our communities. Healthy communities are built on effective community organizations and institutions, skilled people, strong civil and political engagement, local leadership and strong economies and are what make our communities sustainable in the long run. It is critical for companies to acknowledge and manage issues associated with inequality and racism. As a large financial institution with economic influence, TD recognizes that it has a role to play in fostering the communities in which it operates and in encouraging the advancement of a diverse and inclusive society. | ||

page 73 We strongly believe that in order to successfully serve our customers, TD needs to reflect the diversity of our communities and foster an inclusive corporate culture. Diversity and inclusion have remained strategic priorities for TD for over a decade. The disproportionate impacts of the pandemic, incidents such as the findings of unmarked graves at former residential schools across Canada and acts of hate towards diverse communities such as Black and Asian communities, have deeply affected our customers, colleagues and the communities we serve. TD stands against all forms of racism and hate and these and other events are stark reminders that there is more work ahead and reinforces D&I as a core value and business imperative for us. Organizations that take a systemic approach to strengthen and embed diversity and inclusion within their business-as-usual processes are outperforming their peers financially.1 Future leaders will be known not only for cultivating an inclusive workplace, but also for providing inclusive customer experiences and being advocates for creating an inclusive society.2 1
