Reporting our performance

Telenor Group is committed to the disclosure of transparent and high-quality data on social and environmental performance, focusing on material issues and communicating its progress.

In addition to reporting on sustainability online, we also provide information about corporate responsibility (CR) in our Annual Report and in the Sustainability Report. We continually report on current activities relating to CR within the Group on this website. Our international subsidiaries provide information about their CR commitment on their web sites and in their own publications.
