After joining TD Bank in 2019 with a mandate to work on securities, capital markets, corporate governance and public disclosure matters, Jamaal Myers quickly developed a keen interest in environmental, social and governance issues. What started as one small assignment gradually snowballed over the next two years until 50 percent of his workload was related to ESG. In February 2020, the bank created a new role for Myers, allowing him to focus on the bank's ESG public disclosures. In addition to his corporate practice, he works with internal and external stakeholders on complex ESG matters including climate change, sustainable finance and Indigenous rights. As part of a promotion last month to senior legal counsel, Myers is responsible for reviewing the bank's ESG reporting suite which includes an ESG report, climate action report and TD Ready Commitment Report – a corporate citizenship platform.
