Our Environment

Our Environmental Policy is the touchstone for all our environmental initiatives.


As a major multinational financial institution, Scotiabank's day-to-day operations have a number of direct and indirect impacts on the environment. The Bank takes an integrated approach to environmental issues, whether creating environmental products and services, assessing the environmental risk of the Bank's lending portfolio or reducing paper and energy consumption.

"There is growing momentum across the Bank for environmental considerations to be part of how we operate. Whether it's employee enthusiasm for green initiatives internally or the development of new financial products and services to help transition to a greener economy, at Scotiabank, the environment is increasingly becoming a vehicle for positive change."

- Kaz Flinn, Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility
