Our commitment to corporate responsibility is demonstrated in the support we give to international projects and initiatives that promote sustainable development.
In 1996, France Telecom-Orange signed the ETNO (European Telecommunications Network Operators) Environmental Charter and, in 2000, it was one of the first companies to sign up to the United Nations Global Compact.
The Group is also involved in a wide range of organisations and initiatives focused on corporate social responsibility and sustainable development such as:
- the Observatoire sur la Responsabilité Sociétale des Entreprises (ORSE or CSR observatory), which brings together companies and their financial partners that care about CSR
- CSR Europe (European network for corporate social responsibility, which brings together more than 60 Europe-based multinationals)
- the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), which includes telecommunications manufacturers and operators
- the Mobile Phone Partnership Initiative (MPPI), operating under the aegis of the United Nations Environmental Programme, which brings together major suppliers and operators to develop codes of good conduct for the collection, shipment and reconditioning of used mobile telephones
- the Mobile Alliance Against Child Sexual Abuse Content launched in 2008, is an alliance of mobile operators working together to combat the sexual exploitation of children on the Internet.
