Caring culture (have purpose) 3
“Many BPO companies stop at corporate charity. They make the poor objects of charity. TELUS understands sustainability and solidarity. It’s about empowering the poor to help themselves .
It’s about building a permanent impact – schools, water systems and toilets have an impact, not just on health, and the body, but on the soul. It is this spirit that TELUS brings – the spirit of solidarity and sustainability, of honor and self-respect.”
-Tony Meloto, Founder of Gawad Kalinga
