Scotiabank maintains an ongoing commitment to operating in an energy-efficient manner to preserve our planet’s finite energy resources and to protect our eco-system from harmful climatic change. In 2006, we completed an energy measurement pilot project at a number of branches in Ontario. The pilot allowed us to establish and refine a data collection and reporting system, which was rolled out across Canada and allows us to quantify engergy consumption across teh Canadian domestic branch network for the 2007 calendar year.
