TELUS named Canada’s Most Trusted Telecom Brand

Vancouver, B.C. – For the fourth consecutive year, TELUS is proud to announce that it has been named Canada’s Most Trusted Telecom brand in the eighth annual Gustavson Brand Trust Index (GBTI), recognized by Canadian consumers for its social responsibility, integrity and overall brand trust. TELUS also made its debut on Gustavson’s list of Canada’s top 20 Most Authentic Brands, ranking 12th overall among 402 companies.

This recognition from the University of Victoria’s Peter B. Gustavson School of Business further complements numerous accolades TELUS has recently received for its outstanding corporate reputation and leadership in putting customers and communities first. For the first time in the organization’s history, Brand Finance named TELUS Canada’s Most Valuable Telco Brand, with a total brand valuation of $10.1 billion in 2022. In addition, TELUS was recently recognized by the Canadian public as the Most Respected Mobile Service Provider in Canada for its leadership in customer service excellence and community giving, and was also named one of Strategy Magazine’s 2021 Brands of the Year and the Globe and Mail’s Best B2B brands for its social capitalism leadership.

“At TELUS, we fundamentally believe that good business and doing good go hand-in-hand. For more than 22 years, we have been global leaders in social capitalism, putting purpose at the heart of everything we do and ensuring that as our business grows, so too does our positive impact,” says Jill Schnarr, Chief Social Innovation and Communications Officer, TELUS. “It is an honour to once again be recognized as Canada’s most trusted and authentic telecom brand, earning the continued trust and loyalty of Canadian consumers.
