TELUS understands it has the power to make a positive impact on communities and the environment. Its natural partnership with the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) on a number of initiatives will result in important conservation right across Canada.
“Our partnership with TELUS is a good example of the impact corporations can have on conservation,” says Lynn Gran, NCC’s Vice President of Strategic Philanthropy. “TELUS and its team members, headed by Darren Entwistle [A Force for Nature campaign leader for the Nature Conservancy of Canada], are passionate about giving back to the communities where they live and work and we are very pleased to be working with them.”
The partnership between TELUS and NCC began with a very successful e-bill conversion initiative. That was soon complemented by other strategic initiatives such as a Facebook Campaign, a promotion in the 2011 calendar, employee giving, text-to-donate capability and an interactive display at the Ontario Science Centre in conjunction with the Canadian Film Centre.
“Our philosophy at TELUS is to give where we live, and we are proud to partner with the Nature Conservancy of Canada. Our involvement with NCC gives TELUS and our team members the opportunity to give back to the environment in a unique and meaningful way by doing our part to help save priority ecosystems across the country,” says Josh Blair, Executive Vice President, TELUS Human Resources.
“TELUS is committed to environmental sustainability, and we applaud the work of NCC as they continue to provide leadership in conservation efforts throughout Canada.”
NCC thanks TELUS and its employees and looks forward to continuing a broader partnership with the TELUS team!
