TORONTO, April 29 /CNW/ - TD Asset Management is pleased to announce it
has adopted a Sustainable Investing Policy across its operations in Canada and
the United States.
    "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," said 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," added 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."
    The Sustainable Investing Policy is available at www.tdam.com and
