Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) have once again listed
the world's most sustainable companies, and TD is the only Canadian
bank to be included.
TORONTO, Sept. 25, 2019 /CNW/ - For the sixth
consecutive year, TD Bank Group was listed in the DJSI World Index.
From a global pool of 175 banks, TD is the only Canadian bank to be
included in the short list of 25 banks.
"This accomplishment is a testament to TD's commitment to help
build a more inclusive and sustainable tomorrow and reflects our
purpose: to enrich the lives of our customers, colleagues and
communities," said Andrea Barrack,
Global Head, Sustainability and Corporate Citizenship, TD. "Our
inclusion on the DJSI World Index is a reaffirmation of TD's goal
to be an environmental leader as well as our long-standing
commitment to diversity, human rights, and positive social
impact."
The DJSI benchmarks the sustainability performance of leading
companies based on environmental, social and economic performance.
This accomplishment celebrates the contributions of TD's more than
85,000 employees who help make the organization a global leader in
corporate sustainability and corporate citizenship.
TD was recognized for its strong performance in the areas of
Corporate Governance, Risk Management, Customer Relationship
Management, and Talent Attraction and Development.
Rooted in a desire to help provide its customers, communities
and colleagues the confidence to thrive in a changing world, TD
believes it has the responsibility to reimagine its business
practices so that policies and procedures help to make a positive
impact on its communities wherever it does business.
To help illustrate its commitment to this idea, TD issued its
first standalone Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report
and its first report measuring its Corporate Citizenship strategy,
The Ready Commitment, in May
2019.
"We launched The Ready Commitment to activate the power of our
business, philanthropy and human capital to drive greater impact,"
said Barrack. "Our size and scale enable us to be a positive change
agent across our footprint, and we are incredibly proud to be
recognized for another consecutive year as an environmental leader
among the world's most sustainable companies."
TD thanks its colleagues, its customers and communities it
serves, and congratulates the other companies that are included on
the 2019 index.
