TD Asset Management has adopted a Sustainable Investing Policy across its operations in Canada and the United States, the investment management announced Wednesday.

“Sometime ago we designed the TD Asset Management Global Sustainability Strategy, a global equity approach that invests in companies that contribute to the world’s future sustainability,” says Barbara Palk, president, TD Asset Management. “Where environmental, social and corporate governance factors are key drivers of financial value for that Global Sustainability Strategy, they should be part of our analysis for all our investment mandates. Our Sustainable Investing Policy lays out our approach, and builds on our long history of promoting good governance at the companies in which we invest.”

“The decision by TD Asset Management to apply its Sustainable Investing Policy across its operations demonstrates TD’s ongoing commitment to operate in a sustainable manner,” adds Karen Clarke-Whistler, Chief Environment Officer, TD Bank Financial Group.

“TD recently was named one of The 100 Global Most Sustainable Corporations in the World, an award that recognizes companies on the basis of environmental, social and governance performance. We believe that in the rapidly changing global economy, companies that manage the risks and recognize the opportunities relating to environmental and social factors will ultimately be the winners. We want to be one of them,” Clarke-Whistler adds.

TD Asset Management operates in Canada as TD Asset Management Inc. and in the United States as TDAM USA Inc.
