We're stronger together.
We share our sustainability strategy and progress to help us build trust with our stakeholders. Sustainability is embedded in our core business strategy and our sustainability performance provides us with social, environmental and economic opportunity.
TELUS believes that an effective environmental management system provides
the foundation for our environmental sustainability initiatives. In 2017, TELUS
completed the required external audits to maintain our ISO 14001 certification.
The globally recognized ISO 14001 standard has recently been updated
(ISO14001:2015) and in 2017 we made progress on adapting our current
system to the new version. Maintaining this ISO standard also requires continual
improvements to our environmental management processes, and TELUS is
committed to identifying even more ways to better our performance.
We believe in taking CSR further. Created in 2005 by our parent company, TELUS, 13 Canadian community boards and five international boards have led the company’s support of grassroots charities and have contributed $72 million (U.S.) in support of 7,000 local charitable projects, enriching the lives of more than two million children and youth, annually. TELUS was honored to be named the most outstanding philanthropic corporation globally for 2010 by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), becoming the first Canadian company to receive this prestigious international recognition.
