Telenor targets corporate responsibility challenges in new Sustainability Report
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(Fornebu, June 7, 2012) The Sustainability Report is now available for download
on Telenor's web site. It offers a comprehensive overview of Telenor's efforts
to add value, manage risks and contribute to growth in its markets.
Telenor is confident that telecommunications has the potential to positively
impact people's lives and help shape a sustainable future. The company's
Corporate Responsibility department has today released a Sustainability Report,
providing a comprehensive overview of how Telenor seeks to address issues of
importance to its stakeholders and its own business operations, such as business
ethics and the role of telecoms as enablers.
"I am pleased to present Telenor Group's Sustainability Report, which tells the
story of how corporate responsibility is at the core of everything we do," said
Jon Fredrik Baksaas, President and CEO, Telenor Group. "I believe that our long-
term success is dependent on how we interact with the societies around us. To
us, corporate responsibility means using our business to add value to people's
lives, ensuring that our services are safe for our customers and being conscious
about limiting our impact on the environment."
Each section within the Sustainability Report addresses a particular issue of
relevance to Telenor, such as the provision of safe services and supply chain
sustainability. The Sustainability Report openly acknowledges the fact that
operating in international environments is not without its hurdles.
Approximately 80 percent of the report's content delves into Telenor's proactive
responsibility efforts throughout its business units, while the remaining 20
percent addresses why doing "good" can sometimes be difficult.
"Whether it is about addressing negative impacts or reaching out to
beneficiaries in different geographies, certain challenges are frequently
encountered. It is my hope that we can stand out by highlighting these
challenges in our report," said Mai Oldgard, Vice President and Head of
Corporate Responsibility, Telenor Group. "This report will tell you that while
we have achieved much in terms of creating shared value in our markets, we are
equally ambitious in our desire to achieve even more. Corporate Responsibility
is not a one-off for Telenor Group. It is a part of our business."
