Our early strategic investment in award-winning TELUS PureFibre has positioned us as a global leader in copper retirement and enabled the significant reduction of over 7,400 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions since 2018 – equivalent to removing over 1,600 gas-powered cars from our roads for one year*. This is attributed to the decommissioning of thousands of copper devices and our copper retirement program, where we have recycled or repurposed more than 3,600 tonnes of copper, offsetting the need to mine new copper sources.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \"Copper plays a vital role in\n \n Canada's\n \n electrification strategy, supporting the transmission and distribution network, as well as renewable technologies. By strategically repurposing copper, TELUS is directly contributing to the country's electrification goals and building a circular economy around this valuable resource. Our proactive metal recycling initiative sets the standard for an industrial-scale recycling program, further solidifying TELUS' leadership in sustainability,\" said\n \n Tony Geheran\n \n , Chief Operations Officer at TELUS.\n \n \n Since 20...
