At Telfer, everything we do from teaching, to research, to policy advice is firmly aligned with helping Canada reach its potential. We believe that better business practice means a better Canada, and that a better Canada means a better world.

We’ve spent the last 50 years developing the knowledge needed to tackle Canada’s most pressing questions.

• Is our economy missing the opportunity to be a world leader in sustainability and corporate social responsibility?
• Is our healthcare system working as well as it needs to?
• How can we ensure that our people are happier tomorrow than they are today?
• How do we help our entrepreneurs create innovative solutions and enduring legacies?

We’re focusing our well-earned expertise on the achievement of our vision – a greener, healthier, happier, and wealthier country for all. As an organization, we’re here for anyone passionate about using their knowledge and ability to make a positive difference in the world.

• For students, who seek to learn how to apply sound business thinking to make real change.
• For educators, who wish to use their expertise to mentor and cultivate a new generation of leaders primed to make a new kind of difference.
• For researchers, who want to see their work make real impacts in the world.
• For decision makers in government, healthcare, NGOs, and business, who are looking for the best advice on which to inform sound policy and practices

Whoever you are, and wherever you come from – if you’re here for a better Canada, we’re here for you.
