Throughout our more than sixty-year history, we have demonstrated our commitment to keeping Canadians connected, while helping to build a strong and prosperous country from coast-to-coast-to-coast.
By investing in networks, giving back to communities, fostering ethical business practices, and taking action to protect the environment, Rogers is proud to be a leader in the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) space.
Our 2021 ESG Report, released today, transparently reports our progress in these key areas. It is how we are being accountable to Canadians who expect the companies they do business with, invest in, and work for, to adhere to the highest ESG standards.
Key highlights in the report include:

Contributed to Canada's economy with a total economic value distributed of $14 billion

Our interactive, multimedia 2021 Social Impact Report brings the true impact of these investments and commitments to life through video, photos and dynamic storytelling.
