To determine the content of each report, TELUS assesses the CSR materiality of certain aspects of its business and uses the pertinent Global Reporting Initiative (GRI-G3) reporting guidelines to help direct its disclosure. The GRI-G3 guidelines provide a baseline for the type of discussion, as well as the volume and type of metrics that can be found within the report. For the second consecutive year, we have received assurance on key indicators and as a result have self-assessed our GRI-G3 compliance level as “A+”.
