TORONTO, February 10, 2022 /3BL Media/ - TD Bank Group is proud to be recognized with a "S&P Global Silver Class" distinction in the 2022 S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook, one of the most comprehensive annual publications on the state of corporate responsibility. Demonstrating its commitments to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) progress and transparency, TD is the only North American bank ranked in the S&P Global Gold or Silver Class distinctions.
This prestigious ranking showcases the sustainability performance of the world's largest companies in their respective industries.

"Working toward a more sustainable and inclusive future is a core part of our culture, and we are proud to earn an "S&P Global Silver Class" distinction in the Sustainability Yearbook this year in recognition of our efforts," said Janice Farrell Jones, SVP, Sustainability and Corporate Citizenship, TD Bank Group. "We know that ESG needs to be incorporated into everything we do if we're going to bring our goals to life and deliver on the commitments we've made in a meaningful way. This is what it will take to drive progress, find solutions and ensure we're doing our part to help people, businesses and communities thrive in our changing world."
This recognition acknowledges the efforts we've made in recent years to translate our ESG commitments into progress and action. Other recent distinctions include:
