Local TD Bank Branches Receive LEED Certification

Two local TD Bank branches are among several nationwide that have achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.

Among the 15 TD locations receiving LEED honors are the company’s West Babylon branch at 701 West Montauk Highway and its at 485 Montauk Highway.

"In 2010 we became the largest U.S.-based bank to be carbon neutral by building energy efficient, LEED-certified stores and offices," said Jacquelynn Henke, Real Estate Green Strategy Officer. "Achieving LEED certification for these 15 stores is a win for the environment and communities we serve, as well as for TD Bank's sustainability initiative."

LEED is an internationally-recognized mark of excellence by the U.S. Green Building Council that evaluates buildings for their overall environmental performance in six areas: Sustainable Sites, Water Use, Energy Efficiency, Materials and Resource Use, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Innovation and Design.

Since TD Bank introduced the new LEED store design in 2010, the company has built 21 stores – and four corporate buildings – that have achieved LEED certification, and has about 70 building projects registered for certification.
