From Green Building Law Blog: TD Bank Goes Carbon Neutral

The estimable Shari Shapiro talked with Frank Sherman of TD Bank about their decision to become carbon neutral. 

A brief excerpt:

GBLB:  What is the motivation behind TD Bank's green initiative? 

Frank Sherman: Lack of Federal leadership leaves it up to private enterprise. Right now, the private sector is going to have to pull us through in the short term.  Our green initiative is work we have been focusing on for a year and a half internally. The driver stems from TD Bank Financial Group in Toronto. Their senior leadership made the decision to become carbon neutral as a company. Their initial commitment early last year or late 2008 was to become carbon neutral by end of October of 2010.

There's much more in the interview about primary strategy and implemenation. Mr. Sherman even touches on green building. Great piece, Shari!

I neglected to mention the gbNYC also did a piece on TD's carbon neutrality that's also worth a read.
