Responsible business

In every market, Telenor will contribute to society, provide safe products and ensure responsible business practice .

Telenor has invested in developing a global business model based on respect, trust, flexibility, resourcefulness and a passion for meaningful solutions. Each country we enter presents new challenges and reminds us of the importance of this model as a fundamental foundation.

Together with local partners, Telenor has built profitable businesses in emerging economies – establishing infrastructure that enables people to build better lives.

Telenor’s engagement in emerging markets brings social benefits:

  • Leveraging the knowledge and experience of the wider international Telenor group of companies produces cutting-edge solutions that are adapted to local conditions
  • Successful investments pave the way for new industrial and commercial development that benefits an entire country. It is proof that, with the right business model, emerging markets are attractive business opportunities
  • Mobile infrastructure rolls out quickly, coverage spreads rapidly and developing countries “leap-frog” outdated, more expensive infrastructures
  • Development of “best-practice” in human rights, safety, transparency, and governance
  • Significant contributions to national economies through payment of direct and indirect taxes
