In a world that is changing faster than ever, the cultural foundation – our purpose and values – is our compass. Telenor’s legacy of more than 170 years guides us, as we keep moving beyond connectivity, building a tomorrow that is better than today, together.

Our purpose is not just a statement – it is a strategic tool, uniting us around a shared direction. It speaks directly to our customers, partners and society – and directly to you, colleagues across Telenor. It is not about what we do, but why we do it.

Our values are anchored in Telenor’s strengths from the past. They are built on our strong execution culture, while emphasising learning and innovation, psychological safety and collaboration as well as a stronger focus on the customer. Together, these values shape how we work across Telenor.

By uniting around a shared purpose and values, we truly become One Telenor.

Diversity, equity and inclusion – a balanced future

Our people are our greatest strength. A diverse and inclusive workforce reflects the diversity in our markets and suppliers, empowering us to understand and better serve our customers and stakeholders. Our ability to create a more diverse Telenor is essential to our success.

A diverse workforce includes gender balance, age balance and inclusion of people of different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. We are committed to creating an equitable workplace where everyone, including those with physical and psychological disabilities, can thrive.

In 2021, we signed the UN Women Empowerment Principles, which means we share commitment to gender equality principles. We have successfully taken action to increase the share of women in senior leadership positions.

We are committed to the UN business standards of support for LGBTQIA+ and support employee networks and many local events, such as Pride celebrations.

We believe that fostering an inclusive environment where all employees feel valued and supported is crucial. This includes providing necessary means and resources to ensure that individuals with disabilities can fully participate and contribute to our success.

High standards of integrity

The Code of Conduct is the foundation of our corporate culture and sets high standards of integrity for how we do business in Telenor. It guides us through day-to-day dilemmas and is the basis for how we act as guardians of Telenor’s integrity.

Regarding diversity, our Code of Conduct clearly states that no direct or indirect negative discrimination shall take place based on race, colour, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, language, religion, employee representation, political or other opinions, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.

We’re committed to fostering a working environment where all employees are supported and empowered in their work.

Safety and flexibility

Our goal is to balance the safety of being part of something bigger with freedom and flexibility so you can build your journey. New ways of working align well with our existing culture, as we're always looking to create the optimal structure for work that helps us interact, create ideas and problem-solve at the highest level. Together with your team and co-workers, your working day may be structured so it includes working from the office, from home, elsewhere in your home country, or a combination. The best way of working depends on the nature of the work and the needs of the business unit.

At Telenor, we inspire each other to find new paths, while always empowering societies and connecting people to what matters most.
