Telenor publishes Global Impact Report
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(Fornebu, 6 December 2016) Telenor has today published its Global Impact Report,
quantifying the company's socioeconomic impact. The report was compiled by KPMG,
and shows that Telenor contributed an estimated USD 20.3 billion towards
economic growth (measured in terms of Gross Value Added[i]) across its 13
markets in 2015.
Telenor's Global Impact Report quantifies the company's commitment to support
and contribute to the communities in which it operates.
"In Telenor we believe that connected societies are empowered societies. In a
changing digital landscape, it is imperative that governments, businesses, and
organisations work together to develop frameworks that stimulate growth and
create shared value. This report aims to contribute to a constructive dialogue
on how we can continue realizing the value and the opportunity of our digital
future," says Sigve Brekke, President and CEO of Telenor Group.
Digital inclusion is also in line with Telenor's commitment towards the United
Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, and specifically Goal 10: Reduced
inequalities. The Global Impact Report sheds light on how Telenor's operations
contribute towards this goal.
Telenor commissioned KPMG to conduct an independent study assessing a number of
the economic and social impacts Telenor has across the 13 markets in which it
directly operates.
The economic framework applied to assess these impacts captures a wide range of
different effects, both direct and indirect. They show how Telenor contributes
to the economy as a company, as well as the wider impacts generated through the
use of Telenor's services by its business and consumer subscribers.
The socio-economic effects captured in this study were categorized into four key
areas:
* Telenor's contribution to macro-economic growth, including its contribution
to GVA, its employment impact, its investment and its role in contributing
to public finances
* The ways in which Telenor's services enable the wider economy, including the
impacts on digital inclusion, financial inclusion, supporting
entrepreneurship and innovation and supporting improved gender equality;
* Telenor's impacts in terms of sustainability in the supply chain; and
* Telenor's contribution in crisis situations.
Telenor Group's Global Impact Report also includes individual details of the
socioeconomic contributions of each of Telenor's 13 business units around the
world.
Key findings for 2015:
* GROSS VALUE ADDED (GVA): $20.3 billion in GVA across its 13 markets. Of
this, an estimated $10.7 billion was generated in Europe and $9.6 billion in
Asia.
* EMPLOYMENT: Telenor generated an estimated total of 1.2 million direct,
indirect and induced jobs[ii] in the global economy, of which 1.1 million
were in Asia. For every 1 job that Telenor created directly, an additional
33 indirect and induced jobs were created within the wider economies of
Telenor's 13 markets of operation.
* INVESTMENT: Telenor's total investment was $3.2 billion, including $3.1
billion of capital expenditure.
* FISCAL CONTRIBUTIONS: $11.7 billion comprising of contributions made
directly, through the supply chain and induced economic activity, and
through employees.
* DIGITAL INCLUSION: $8.0 billion estimated net GDP contribution through
greater digital access (2G and the shift to 3G and 4G) between 2014 and
2015.
* FINANCIAL INCLUSION: 11.8 million subscribers accessed financial
transactions via mobile. $27.6 billion in financial transactions using
Telenor's network, including mobile and over the counter transactions via
Telenor's own financial services, such as EasyPaisa.
* GENDER: 13,000 women were directly employed by Telenor in 2015 (36% of
Telenor's workforce). $3.1 billion of the estimated $8.0 billion net GDP
contribution through greater digital access between 2014 and 2015 was
attributed specifically to increased digital access for female subscribers.
* SUPPLY CHAIN SUSTAINABILITY: 2.1 million employees benefitting from working
for companies with high standards of labour rights and working conditions,
following Telenor's supply chain sustainability policy
