Anti-Corruption

What you need to know

Corruption undermines legitimate business activities and distorts competition. Thus, corruption ruins reputation and exposes individuals to risks. Telenor is firmly opposed to all forms of corruption and makes active efforts in order to ensure that it does not occur in our business activities.

What you must do

You must never ask for, accept, receive, offer or give a bribe.

If you are in doubt as to whether the action you are about to do is within Telenor’s Code of Conduct and our Group Policy Anti-Corruption, you shall contact your immediate superior for clarification. If not a clearly minor issue, such inquiries and clarifications shall be documented.

If you, or your immediate superior, are in doubt as to the legality of an action or how to interpret Group Policy Anti-Corruption, you shall seek legal advice with Local Policy Owner.

What you need to be aware of

A bribe is when someone attempts to influence a third party’s decision in an improper manner by offering an undue or improper advantage. Any corrupt activity – either in public or private sector – is prohibited.

An improper advantage can have different forms, for example in the form of cash, cash equivalents, gifts, credits, discounts, travel, personal benefits, accommodation or services.
