TELUS (T) contributes C$85 million, representing 5 percent of profits, to Canadian charities.
The giving was part of TELUS’ passion for making the future friendlier for all Canadians and citizens worldwide.
Last year alone, the TELUS team gave C$85 million to drive meaningful, positive change for our most vulnerable citizens during a year of unprecedented uncertainty and hardship.
“For more than two decades, our TELUS team has demonstrated an unsurpassed commitment to creating a friendly future for people around the world and driving positive social change in the global communities where we operate,” said Darren Entwistle, President and CEO, TELUS.
“Now more than ever, I am inspired by our team’s extraordinary efforts to enable remarkable human and social outcomes on a global basis. Last year alone, our TELUS team volunteered 1.25 million hours and contributed C$85 million, representing five percent of pre-tax profits to charitable and community organizations worldwide,” added Entwistle.
Each year, TELUS team members and retirees worldwide volunteer more than one million hours in their local communities and support more than 4-thousand charities and community organizations.
Together, these efforts and more have contributed to TELUS’ numerous accolades in social capitalism.
