to a sustainable social change.
An area we give a special attention to is hu-
man rights. We have implemented guidelines
to ensure a structured approach towards such
issues. We regularly conduct due diligence
and assess the potential risks of infringe-

continuous improvement and transparency in
communication.
Telenor’s future is in transparent and sus-

much more accessible to everyone. One of
the main goals of our company is to pro-
vide the benefits of mobile communica-
tions to as many people as possible. Thus,
the opportunities for society’s growth and
development increase.
