Sustainability
Sustainability is embedded into our core business strategy and our sustainability performance provides us with social, environmental and economic opportunity. Through our 2019 Sustainability Report, we aim to disclose our performance on important issues in a way that highlights the relationship between business success and sustainability.
Our long-standing commitment to putting our customers first fuels every aspect of our business, making us a distinct leader in customer service excellence and loyalty. TELUS Health is Canada’s largest healthcare IT provider, and TELUS International is a customer experience provider that designs, builds and delivers digital solutions for global and disruptive brands.
Driven by our passionate social purpose to connect all Canadians for good, our deeply meaningful and enduring philosophy to give where we live has inspired our team members and retirees to contribute more than $736 million and over 1.4 million days of service since 2000.
