TD is one of only three retail-focused banks from around the world to rank on international list

For the second year in a row, TD has been named one of the world’s most sustainable corporations according to Corporate Knight’s annual Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World ranking, announced on January 27, 2010 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

“We’re proud to be one of only a handful of banks from around the world to be recognized for our environmental performance and leadership,” said Karen Clarke-Whistler, TD’s Chief Environment Officer. “We made significant progress in 2009 to demonstrate our ‘green’ leadership, our commitment on social and governance issues, and our transparency. Going forward, I’m confident we will continue to push the envelope as we continue to integrate the environment into our business.”

The Global 100 is a list of publicly-traded companies from 24 countries around the world encompassing all sectors of the economy that were evaluated on a wide range of criteria, including energy productivity (the ratio of sales to energy consumption), water productivity (sales to water usage), and how the companies handle the management of sustainability issues.

This latest recognition adds to a growing list of accolades awarded to TD for its environmental management and performance. In 2009, TD received more environment-related recognition than any other major bank in North America.
