At the same time, we want our social responsibility
to be based on innovative partnerships, bold

and establishment of a balance between market
demands, social needs and preservation of the
An exciting year is behind us. During these twelve months we
launched and supported more than 30 socially responsible
projects. Taking into account the needs of the Serbian society,
our activities targeted Internet child safety, environmental
protection, various forms of assistance for socially responsible
organizations, and improving the position of vulnerable groups.
The focus of the projects, which we implemented in 2010
with more than 50 partner organizations, was on education,
professional development for youths, as well as support to
cultural production and the development of art market.
Care for people lies at the very foundation of our operations. We
demonstrate this in internal communication, in our customer
relations, with business partners, and in our cooperation with the
society at large. Our approach to social responsibility represents
a combination of three corporate values – enabling, security and
protection.
environment. In problem solving we also rely on
our own capacities, technology and knowledge
of our employees, which are the pillars of most of
our projects. Furthermore, we have organized an
internal competition and in pursuing the ideas of our
colleagues, we have implemented several projects for
improving lives in local communities.

In addition to the Internet parks, we continued our involvement in the promotion and popularization of Internet use in
Serbia through other projects. With the aim of increasing the
number of youths that are involved in modern communications we developed the Internet for All project, with the Vračar

Internet access to schools in Vračar. At the beginning of the

The first base station in
Serbia to use renewable
energy sources
In June 2010, the first base station in
Serbia to use wind and solar energy, part
of the Telenor company network, went into
operation in the town of Pločice, in the Kovin
municipality. By using renewable energy
sources for powering the telecommunications
network, this base station saves up to
50 percent of the electricity it uses. In
addition to installing solar panels and a
wind generator, a special system for battery
cooling also contributes to the increase
in energy efficiency and the reduction in

carbon dioxide emission. This environmental
pilot project is the first in a series of “green”
investments by our company in the field of
telecommunications network power supply.
In addition to being supported by the Ministry
of Environment and Spatial Planning, the
project also involved local experts who
designed the hybrid solar and wind system
and supervised the installation.

The Telenor Foundation has been a strategic partner
of the Petnica Research Station and member of the
Petnica Fund for the past four years. Among other
things, we support individual topical projects and
Petnica activities, we provide financial support for
projects and supply necessary equipment, and our

of the funding was directed at launching a new
teaching laboratory for geoarcheology.

SOS hotline for advice, support, assistance
“We are one of the first organizations
in this part of Europe to have started
addressing the issue of violence
against women and children with
disabilities. Women with disabilities
rarely report cases of violence to
the police, primarily because they
are not considered credible in such
cases, and also because after being
reported to the police the violence
mainly increases drastically. This is
why we considered this an important
task. If we succeed in protecting
the victim in just one case, we have
already achieved something good.”

especially like basketball. Now
they have everything that they
need in order to mature properly,

“In addition to the demanding but
equally fun sports activities, the
youths also attend a combination
of educational and creative
workshops at our camp, they learn
how to develop tolerance and

towards a healthy way of life.”

Natural disasters and catastrophes demand urgent
assistance for those in jeopardy and swift reaction
by society and the surroundings in remedying the
consequences. Donations by SMS have proven to
be one of the simplest and fastest ways of raising
financial assistance, which is why during 2010 we set
up 16 telephone numbers for humanitarian purposes.
Thanks to this more than RSD 10 million was raised.
Four “humanitarian numbers” were activated in
cooperation with the Kraljevo City Administration and
other organizations, in order to raise funds for making
repairs after the consequence of the earthquake that
ravaged this city. We also donated funds to Kraljevo
and helped repair the Studenica Healthcare Center.

Telenor’s art calendar for 2011 is called 12 Codes and it represents the
online identities of 23 young Serbian artists. Through this concept we
pointed out the link between the real and the digital world, where an
increasing number of people communicate, work and spend time daily,
and which the art scene has moved to, and we wanted to once again
present artists who are not quite established, and who are creating
something special.
In addition to the printed version, our calendar this year is also available
in electronic form: a web page, widget and mobile version, making it
available to a broader audience through our web and WAP portal. The
“unlimited number of copies” draws attention to the new opportunities for
the existence of art in the virtual space, and its accessibility. In addition
to the great public attention that it created, the 12 Codes calendar also
won first prize at the Exhibition of the most beautiful Calendars, Greeting
Cards, at the Vojvodina Museum of Contemporary Art in Novi Sad.
The first art calendar that we produced in Serbia was the 2008 calendar

reproductions of the 12 best works from the competition for designing

“The visual identities of the
artists that are presented in
the calendar are called codes,
which is a term borrowed from
the technical world. Together
we worked on these codes being
presented through photographs,
the way that the artist wanted
others to see them. I am glad
that Telenor recognizes the
language in which contemporary
culture communicates through
new media, and that it decided
to help artists reach mainstream
art through the pages of its
calendar.”

ABOUT THE
TELENOR FOUNDATION
The Telenor Foundation was founded in March 2007. Being the largest
foreign investor in Serbia, through the Foundation our Company
continues to invest in Serbia and help develop its social potentials. We
strive to help overcome the challenges that Serbia society faces, which
is why the Foundation initiates projects that offer effective, sustainable
and developmental solutions throughout the country.
The project proposals that are submitted to the Telenor Foundation
([email protected]) are first reviewed by the Telenor social
responsibility team. The projects that meet the Foundation’s criteria
are then reviewed by the Foundation’s Managing Board, which decides
which projects will receive support.
The Managing Board convenes up to four times per year and ensures
that the principles of the Telenor Foundation are carried out consistently
and in compliance with the Statute, which was adopted when the
Foundation was established. The Managing Board is expected to select
projects in a transparent manner (by majority vote) and only those
that receive the sufficient number of votes are implemented. Minutes
are kept at the meetings, and are then sent to all the members of the
Managing Board, so that they can once more verify their decision.
The Managing Board has five members and two advisors, of which only
two are Company employees, with the remaining members and advisors
being distinguished members of society and prominent experts in a
number of fields. For more information on the strategy, activities and the
list of Managing Board members visit www.telenor.rs/fondacija.
The projects that we launch through the Foundation are primarily aimed
at providing support for socially vulnerable groups, youths, youth
education and professional training, as well as development of the art
market, cultural and art production, and environmental protection.
Through the work of the Foundation we have successfully collaborated
with governmental and nongovernmental institutions, various
organizations and educational institutions. Our project partners are
required to submit monthly progress reports, and at the end of the
project they submit a detailed report on the results and effects, which is
then reviewed by the Foundation’s Managing Board.
In 2010 the Managing Board approved more than 20 projects, which we
launched in collaboration with more than 25 partner organizations. The
Company also took part and supported the implementation of a dozen
more socially beneficial projects.
