Telenor receives an "Investor in the Environment" award from the Bulgarian Forum for Business Leaders

Telenor Bulgaria received an award in the category "Investor in the Environment" at the Annual Responsible Business Awards 2020 of the Bulgarian Business Leaders Forum (BBLF). The awards are a traditional initiative of BBLF, which recognizes the good practices and the significant contribution of the private sector to nature preservation, human capital development, education, and society as a whole.

For 2020, which became better known as the "year of the Covid crisis", 78 companies submitted a total of 111 projects in the six categories of the competition. In this contested competition, Telenor won in the only "green" category, and the prize is double, as BBLF provides the opportunity for winners in this category to appear at the prestigious European Business Awards for the environment.

„The "Investor in the Environment" award is extremely valuable and it belongs to the team of Telenor Bulgaria, which works daily for the digital future of Bulgaria and thus makes possible the sustainable environmental practices that it has supported for years. We accept the award as an incentive to continue investing and upgrading our socially responsible policy for environmental protection”, said Viliana Staneva, Corporate Communications and Social Responsibility Expert at Telenor Bulgaria, who received the award during the official award ceremony.

The prestigious award is a result of the long-term strategy for sustainable development of Telenor Bulgaria, aimed at the continuous minimization of the company's impact on the environment. Telenor implements sustainable environmental policies, through which, besides taking care for the nature and the natural resources, it aims at increasing the level of awareness and environmental culture of its employees as well as their commitment to green ideas. Telenor strives to develop its business in a sustainable and transparent way, focusing on creating initiatives and partnerships that bring added value in the long run for customers, partners, employees, and society as a whole.

More information on the policies and practices, part of Telenor Bulgaria's sustainable development strategy, is available in the annual Sustainability Reports, which the company has been publishing publicly since 2010.
