Anti-Corruption Handbook

Telenor is firmly opposed to corruption in all forms. For Telenor, anti-corruption is not only a legal obligation and an ethical standpoint. Corruption is a threat to business and society in all countries. It undermines legitimate business activities and distorts competition. It ruins reputation and exposes individuals to risks. Telenor has zero tolerance on corruption and is committed to doing business in accordance with the highest ethical standards.

For the most part, activities involving business courtesies are part of normal business practice. It is important, however, that we are always transparent, reasonable and have a lawful business interaction.

This handbook is intended as a practical tool to help you, as a Telenor employee, to follow Telenor’s values and formal rules relating to anti-corruption. As an employee in Telenor you may find yourself in or experience situations where there is a risk of corruption. This could be in relation to receiving or giving gifts and business courtesies such as promotional items, meals, entertainment and other benefits – things of value – such as gifts.

The handbook cannot provide answers to every situation and dilemma that you may face and you are strongly encouraged to seek advice when in doubt.
