Telenor highlights challenges and future ambitions in new sustainability report
Article:
Telenor Group’s 2012 Sustainability Report is published today. The report provides comprehensive insight into Telenor’s sustainability work undertaken during the past year. The report also sets out many of our key challenges and our future ambitions of continuing to add value, manage risks and contribute to growth in all our markets.
At Telenor Group we aim to deliver shared value for our company and for the societies where we operate. To achieve shared value, Telenor is actively working to extend the benefits of communications technology to reach underserved groups, to provide safe user experiences and minimise our environmental impact. We also remain committed to responsible business across all levels of the organisation.
“I am pleased to present Telenor Group’s Sustainability Report for 2012. This report demonstrates how we work to ensure that sustainability is an integral part of everything we do,” says Jon Fredrik Baksaas, President and CEO of Telenor Group. “While our strategy remains unchanged, we see that new developments require us to stay vigilant and responsive. This is important both in addressing emerging challenges and in maximising our opportunities.”
Telenor’s Annual Report for 2012, which is also issued today, and Telenor’s Sustainability Report provide an overview of Telenor’s results in terms of financial, social and environmental performance.
“In this report Telenor seeks to address issues of importance to our external stakeholders and our own business operations. It is our aim to be open about the challenges we face operating in an international environment as well as the achievements we made during 2012,” says Mai Oldgard, Vice president and Head of Corporate Responsibility, at Telenor Group.
