(3BL Media/Justmeans) – Businesses are typically the largest direct consumers of natural capital, which is the financial value provided by natural resources and ecosystems. As key stakeholders and consumers, it becomes a critical responsibility of businesses to support the growth and preservation of natural capital in economic, social and environmental terms.

TD Bank Group of Canada has emerged as a leader in corporate responsibility, showingan exemplary commitment to promoting sustainability on various fronts. The bank’s recently published 2014 Corporate Responsibility Report, “How We are Building The Better Bank,” outlines the bank’s performance and progress on corporate responsibility.

  • More than 96,000 hours volunteered by TD employees in their local communities
  • More than 50,000 trees planted across North America and the U.K. through TD Tree Days
  • $82 CAD million donated to support community organizations across North America and the U.K.
