TD Bank has named Jacquelynn Henke real estate green strategy officer, where she will develop and execute the bank’s environmental sustainability efforts.

Based in Boston, Henke will oversee the continued implementation of the bank’s green initiatives for its real estate operations from Maine to Florida. This includes the design and construction of the bank’s stores using its new green prototype store design. She will also manage the LEED certification process for qualifying retail locations, regional headquarters, call centers and supporting offices throughout the TD Bank footprint.

Henke will report to Gerry Guidice, head of U.S. real estate at the bank.

"Jackie’s extensive experience and knowledge in real estate sustainability development will enable us to build on our recent green accomplishments," said Guidice. "Now that TD Bank has achieved carbon neutrality footprint-wide and we’ve built 15 new environmentally-friendly offices in one year, we want to set higher goals for 2011 and make sure TD Bank is as green as its logo."

Last month, TD Bank received a 2010 Green Power Partner Leadership Award by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the bank’s purchase of renewable energy credits to meet 100 percent of the bank’s electricity needs, according to a statement.

Prior to joining TD Bank, Henke was the sustainability manager and a senior project manager for Harvard University’s Allston Development Group. While at Harvard, she worked to achieve sustainability goals for the university’s planned projects in its Allston campus expansion and she also co-chaired the committee that updated the university’s green building standards. Before Harvard, she was the director of sustainability and a vice president at Colliers Meredith & Grew and a project engineer and superintendent with Turner Construction.
