Our governance approach

Our governance approach

Responsibility for TELUS' environmental footprint is shared by senior leaders across the organization, all with specific areas of expertise. The Audit Committee of TELUS' Board of Directors receives quarterly reports in regards to TELUS' ongoing environmental risk management activities. The Environment team, which is located within the Risk Management department of the Finance business unit, is comprised of professionals from across Canada responsible for our environmental management systems and corporate social responsibility programs. These programs are the management tools for setting policies, implementing programs, tracking performance and reducing our impact.

TELUS' commitment to continuously improve efficiency through new and innovative projects continued in 2008. For example, in 2008 we announced plans to retrofit TELUS House Quebec, a legacy building in Quebec City, to LEED silver level. We also continued building TELUS House Toronto, for which we will seek LEED certification. With expected occupancy in 2010 and 2009, respectively, these two properties will complement TELUS House Ottawa, which was constructed to a LEED silver level in 2007.

Green is good

TELUS' suite of Green Business Solutions continues to help clients reduce their environmental footprint.
