This year, Telenor Group has improved its position in the ranking of corporate sustainability leaders as well as Carbon Disclosure Project’s report measuring companies’ environmental impacts.
(Podgorica, September 17, 2013) – Once again this year, Telenor Group is ranked among the global leaders in terms of sustainability according to the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (DJSI) annual ranking of corporate sustainability leaders. This is the 12th consecutive year that Telenor Group has been recognized by the DJSI. This year’s indexes reveal that Telenor Group’s total score was 90 (out of 100), up seven points from last year.
For the first time, Telenor Group has also been included in CDP’s Global 500 Climate Performance Leadership Index (CPLI). In addition the Carbon Disclosure Project’s Global 500 Climate Change Report 2013 ranks Telenor Group 3rd, up from 10th place last year.
“Sustainable growth and corporate responsibility is an important part of how Telenor Group operates, which is once again being recognized today. The mobile industry has proven positive effects on economic and social welfare. Our industry has the power to transform society, and we aim to extend the benefits of telecommunications into all markets where we operate,” said Jon Fredrik Baksaas, President and CEO, Telenor Group.
The DJSI is a widely recognised benchmark for identifying the world’s corporate sustainability leaders. The DJSI assessment uses an in-depth analysis of economic, environmental and social criteria with a special focus on industry-specific risks and opportunities. Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is an international, not-for-profit organization providing the only global system for companies and cities to measure, disclose, manage and share vital environmental information.
