our commitments

Our strategy and plans for improvement are continuously informed by dialogue with  stakeholders at global and local levels.

 

 Over the last few years, we have made external commitments confirming our desire to contribute to sustainable development. We were one of the first businesses to sign up for the UN’s Global Compact in July 2000. Involvement in a number of other initiatives such as the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) and the Mobile Phone Partnership Initiative (MPPI) and the Decade on Education for Sustainable Development allows us to compare our record to other companies. We are also a member of the Institute of Business Ethics and CSR Europe.

 To ensure that our corporate responsibility and sustainable development approach is in line with society’s expectations, our businesses around the world listen to various external stakeholders, including customers, shareholders, suppliers, local authorities, and national and international public bodies. Partnerships with organizations such as UNICEF, Samu Social International, PlaNet Finance and various local associations confirm our commitment to creating a lasting dialogue with society.
