VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TELUS today announced the kick off of its 18th annual TELUS Days of Giving, a month-long initiative that mobilizes TELUS team members, retirees and partners around the world to volunteer and give back in their local communities.\u00a0\u00a0 According to the 2023 Edelman Trust Barometer<\/u><\/a>, Canadians are increasingly looking to businesses to do more to help solve pressing social issues. Almost 60 per cent of Canadians<\/u><\/a> believe businesses are not doing enough to address climate change and 81 per cent agree<\/u><\/a> companies should be doing more to give back. Championed by team members almost two decades ago, the annual TELUS Days of Giving movement continues to grow, now bringing together a record-breaking 75,000 TELUS team members and retirees across the globe. From cleaning local shorelines and parks, donating blood, planting trees, recycling old mobile devices, or volunteering at neighbourhood food banks, the TELUS team is committed to creating long-lasting impacts and helping address some of today\u2019s most pressing challenges in their local communities. Since 2000, the TELUS team members, retirees and their families have contributed 2 million days of global volunteerism and donated C$1.5 billion to local charities and not-for-profit organizations.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur TELUS team remains deeply committed to driving positive social change and creating remarkable human outcomes in the global communities where we operate,\u201d said Darren Entwistle, President and CEO, TELUS. \u201cWith a tremendous legacy of giving that spans over two decades, and that includes two million days of volunteerism, TELUS team members consistently demonstrate their capacity to make the world a better place, selflessly giving of their time, talents and resources to improve the lives of our fellow citizens. Our annual TELUS Days of Giving, which began as a domestic initiative, has grown into a powerful global movement with over 75,000 team members coming together to make a meaningful difference. Thanks to our team\u2019s passionate support \u2013 underpinned by our inimitable culture of caring \u2013 I am confident that we will make this our most giving year ever, as we work towards a friendlier future for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the TELUS Days of Giving program<\/u><\/a>, TELUS leads by example, stepping up and providing support every day of the year. Last year alone, TELUS:<\/p>\n
