TD BANK FINANCIAL GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2005 More About Us
TDBFG believes that building our corporate culture based on
strong Guiding Principles and clearly defining how we view lead-
ership both within our organization and in the communities in
which we live and work, will set us apart as we continuously
strive to be “the better bank” for all our stakeholders.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR 2005
CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY REPORT:
•Involved in our communities: TDBFG donated over
$27.5 million to charities and community causes last year, with
an emphasis on three key areas: children’shealth; education
and literacy; and the environment. Our employees volunteered
countless hours and raised money through fundraising events
to benefit the well-being of others.
•Making diversity a business priority: Implementing an
enhanced strategy on diversity was a key business priority.
Management structures were put in place, steps were taken
to make our workplace more inclusive and accommodating,
and through participation in external programs like The
Mentoring Partnership and Passages to Canada we supported
diversity initiatives in the community.
•Respecting the environment: We continued to incorporate
sound environmental management processes in our operations
and supported over 900 community-based initiatives through
the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation.
•Developing and recognizing our people: Tosupport our
employees, we launched a number of initiatives including
new career planning resources and a recognition and rewards
program linked to TDBFG’s Guiding Principles.
•Ensuring customer protection and accessibility:
Maintaining and improving the accessibility, security, and
safety of our facilities and services remained an ongoing
focus in 2005.
