This powerful milestone created a “Wave of purple” across nine countries where TELUS Digital team members live, work and serve.

“At TELUS Digital, we believe in using technology as a force for good and in creating meaningful outcomes for the communities we serve,” said Jason Macdonnell, Acting CEO, TELUS Digital and President, TELUS Digital Customer Experience. “Our commitment to ‘Give Where We Live’ is more than a value, it’s a reflection of our fusion-based strategy, which combines the power of technology with the care and dedication of people to drive positive impact. Whether we’re building innovative digital solutions or volunteering our time, our goal is always the same: to build a more inclusive, connected, and purpose-driven future. The spirit of giving doesn’t end with a single event, it continues throughout the month and year, embedded in how we show up for our communities every day.”
