As a result of its size and widespread business activities, Telenor affects the surroundings, the environment and the consumption of resources to a considerable degree. The environmental impact per employee in the Group is nevertheless low compared with other businesses of comparable size. Telenor's aim is to reduce the impact further, both as regards resource consumption and environmental effects. This will result in reduced material and energy flow, which in turn will lead to cost savings.
At the present time, Telenor has a good overview of the Group's "inputs" and "outputs". This gives a clear picture of how Telenor affects resources, nature and the countryside. The illustration below shows some of the elements of Telenor's inputs and outputs. For such a large group, the input of energy, resources, goods and services is relatively large. The output from the Group is also considerable, including amongst other things emissions to air, ground and water, large amounts of waste, and impact on nature and the countryside. Details of Telenor's inputs and outputs are shown under "Results".
Because of the size of the input and output, even small changes in course in the right direction will be likely to give measurable positive results when the Group is considered as a whole. This is an important factor influencing motivation for work on the external environment.
