Telstra International announce WWF-UK as charity of the year partner

Telstra International kicked off this exciting Charity of the Year partnership yesterday, at the City of London’s Bloomberg Square Mile Relay in which 20 Telstra International and WWF-UK employees participated.

Patrick Laine, WWF-UK’s Director of Business Partnerships said: “I’m thrilled that Telstra has chosen WWF as its Charity of the Year. The funds raised will help WWF’s conservation projects around the world and assist us in our goal of protecting the natural environment.

Murray Hankinson, Telstra International’s Director of Corporate Development & Strategic Marketing added; “We have a fantastic, international mix of staff who are always eager to get involved in any and all fund-raising activities. WWF is the perfect charitable partner for us as its international reach, yet local focus, truly aligns with our own approach to business. We look forward to surpassing previous years’ donations to the benefit of WWF-UK.”

This is not the first time WWF and Telstra have combined forces. Earlier this year Telstra Corporation partnered with WWF in Australia to launch a white paper that highlights how information and communication technology can improve environmental sustainability for large organisations and deliver positive commercial outcomes.
