In celebration of National Forest Week, TELUS has achieved a landmark environmental milestone by planting its 25 millionth tree. When fully mature, these 25 million trees will absorb 7.5 million metric tons of CO2, equivalent to removing 1.8 million cars from roads while creating vital wildlife habitats across an area 50 times larger than New York’s Central Park. For over 25 years, TELUS has been a global leader in sustainability, investing in innovative technology and sustainable business practices. This achievement exemplifies TELUS’ commitment to meaningful environmental action.
Leading Through Science-Based Climate Action
As a globally recognized sustainability leader, TELUS has established ambitious science-based targets aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement, including:
- 100 per cent renewable or low emitting electricity by the end of 2025
- 46 per cent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030
- Operational carbon neutrality by 2030
Beyond tree planting, TELUS has demonstrated comprehensive environmental stewardship by diverting 15 million devices from landfills since 2005, investing nearly $52.4 million through the TELUS Pollinator Fund for Good since 2020, and accelerated reforestation efforts with over eight million trees planted across Canada in 2024 alone, restoring more than 5,300 hectares of natural habitats.
Comprehensive Nature-Based Solutions
Central to these achievements is TELUS Environmental Solutions, which offers comprehensive nature-based climate solutions including strategic tree planting, innovative kelp afforestation, and critical mangrove restoration projects. These initiatives contribute to enhanced biodiversity, accelerated carbon sequestration, and ecosystem restoration while empowering customers and partners to take meaningful steps towards a healthier planet.
