Our Strategy
Launched at our Investor Day in December 2023, our strategy focuses on four key pillars:
Grow and scale in priority markets
We are deploying most of our incremental capital to our priority businesses in Canada, the United States, and Mexico, strengthening North American corridor connectivity to accelerate growth and scale while ensuring resources go where they create the greatest impact and value.
Earn primary client relationships
We are advancing our North Star of client primacy by driving value over volume – building deeper, long-term relationships with our clients, diversifying our business mix, and bringing the full strength of the Bank to meet our clients’ evolving needs.
Make it easy to do business with us
We are simplifying our processes, driving operational excellence and efficiency, improving access to our products and services, and investing in digital, cash management, and cross-border capabilities, so that our clients can confidently bank with us wherever they are and however they choose.
Win as one team
Through our ScotiaBond, we are investing in our people and communities, fostering an inclusive, high-performance culture where everyone thrives, and strengthening our commitment to being the employer of choice.
