Diversity and Equal Opportunity

We take an integrated approach to diversity and inclusion, with initiatives for employees, customers and communities. The Diversity Leadership Council, which comprises senior leaders across TD, sets the strategy and oversees our progress on diversity and inclusion.

  • Workforce diversity against labour market availability
  • Global employee engagement survey results (TD Pulse)

  • Employees’ voluntary completion of Employment Equity Survey (Canada)
  • Participation in independent third party surveys, such as Top Diversity Employers and the AON Hewitt Best Employer survey

G4-SO1 Percentage of operations with implemented local community engagement, impact assessments, and development programs.

TD uses the following frameworks and policies to assess our engagement and the impact of our operations on local communities. These apply to 100% of our operations, with the exception of the Community Reinvestment Act, which is federally legislated in the U.S.

Issues and concerns can be reported using TD’s existing processes. See more information on Customer Care and TD’s Whistleblowing hotline.

G4-SO2 Operations with significant actual and potential negative impacts on local communities.

TD’s approach to Corporate Responsibility is built on four key themes, one of which is strengthening communities. As part of that commitment, TD supports over 5,000 organizations that work to enrich and strengthen our local communities. TD donates millions of dollars each year to causes that matter to our customers, employees and stakeholders.
