Corporate Social Responsibility

Since it was established in July 1996, apart from investing in the infrastructure of its own network, Promonte has also invested in the community, considering itself a responsible citizen of the country it operates in. In the last seven years it supported many manifestations, institutions, organizations and individuals in the field of sport, culture, education, ecology, etc. Through its donations the company expressed its readiness to support all social structures.


Filter for child sexual abuse content for mobile phones

Promonte, in cooperation with the Montenegrin Police Directorate, sets up a filter to disable access via mobile phone to thesites containing children pornography.

On 11 February 2008, GSM Association has launched its "Mobile Alliance against Child Sexual Abuse Content" following the good results that was achieved in Norway. Actually, Telenor Mobil, Telenor mobile operator in Norway was the first mobile operator in the world to introduce filter for child sexual abuse content for mobile phones.

Telecom industry needs to join ranks to prevent the spreading of child sexual abuse content through mobile phones. Several major mobile operators joined forces to expand the global outreach of the filter and prevent individuals in using mobile networks to host, access or profit from child sexual abuse content. As part of the Alliance, operators commit themselves to implement filtering technology at their global operations. And that is what we are doing today in Montenegro.

Promonte, as mobile operator, is committed to pursue Internet security in the mobile world in order to provide safe products and protect the most vulnerable in our society. Therefore, Promonte established a partnership with the Montenegrin Interpol to implement “Child Sexual Abuse Filter”. The child sexual abuse filter is a technical barrier that blocks websites containing child sexual abuse content to a mobile phone. The Telenor Group is a pioneer within this field and became the world's first telecom operator to cooperate with law enforcement authorities in creating such a filter. Following the success of the filter in our three Nordic markets, we are joining forces with other mobile operators to expand the global outreach of the filter.

We wish to restrict the market for such material and prevent accidental access by the public to child sexual abuse content. Telecommunications is a tremendous asset to children and their families. Children are keen and playful users of mobile phones. But guidance and protection is needed, otherwise children may be subjected to “cyber bullying” or harmful material on their mobiles. 3G technology opens new opportunities for mobile phones. With the advent of new technology, new challenges also arise, as well as new demands on mobile operators. 3G is no exception. In principle, users may now connect to any website via their mobile phones. By implementing the filter, we contribute to address a very serious problem, while also setting new international standards



As part of the agreement Montenegrin Interpol provides a hotline and a continuously updated list of URLs containing illegal child sexual abuse material. The partnership therefore clearly sets out that Montenegrin Interpol shall be responsible for making all assessments as to content legality. Promonte’s role is limited to providing the technical solution and managing the technical filtering process based on a block list provided by Montenegrin Interpol.

Telenor is part of Mobile Alliance against Child Sexual Abuse Content, in Preamble in which it is said: 

   1.1. 1.1 The Mobile Alliance against Child Sexual Abuse Content respects the fundamental human rights including the right of everyone to hold opinions without interference, as well as the right to freedom of expression, including the freedom to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, and the rights concerning the respect for privacy.

   1.2. 1.2 The Mobile Alliance against Child Sexual Abuse Content also acknowledges that children, as a particular vulnerable group, should habve the right to be protected from exploitation by individuals or organizations wishing to consume or profit form child sexual abuse content in the mobile environment

   1.3. 1.3 The Mobile Alliance against Child Sexual Abuse Content is mindful of the need to ensure a proper balance between the interests of law enforcement and respect for fundamental human rights on this subject matter. 

   1.4. 1.4 The Mission of the Mobile Alliance against Child Sexual Abuse Content is to obstruct the use of mobile environment by individuals or organization wishing to consume or profit from child sexual abuse content.



The first repeater powered by renewable energy

Promonte has launched another environmentally-friendly initiative by using solar and wind energy to power one of its repeater sites

Promonte is the country’s first mobile communications services provider to have started using renewable energy sources to power its repeater.

“The installation of base stations with renewable energy sources is among initial steps in our contributing to the achievement of objectives in the fields of energy efficiency and environmental protection. We hope that Promonte, as a leader in this field, will encourage other companies in Montenegro to join us in saving our environment”, said Ana Radulovic, CCAO.

Long-term environment commitment 
Within the scope of its strategic determinations in activities of corporate social responsibility, Promonte pays special care to the environmental protection, beside heath and education. Being an integral part of Telenor Group, Promonte has great ambitions in fields, which deal with the environmental protection and activities for reducing global warming. 

The constant user need for innovative services leads to an increased use of telecommunication networks. Although at this moment telecommunication operators are not large polluters, our base stations, towers and network components require a substantial amount of energy to ensure our customers a smooth service. In order to reduce CO2 emission we aim to increase the energy efficiency of our network operations by switching to network components with improved design for easier maintenance exploring the potential for renewable energy sources. The newest activities, relating to recently signed contract with the telecommunication equipment leader, ZTE company, in building future proof network, are also aimed at green business because one of the key factors in making such decision was also the energy efficiency which will increase by implementing the equipment of our new partner. 

Keep promises
“As we promised early this spring, and keeping promises is one of our core values, we are here, in Platije canyon, in front of the first green repeater in Montenegro, that presents solar-wind hybrid system“ said Ana, “However, we experienced long process of obtaining the licenses. Having in mind that green business is becoming one of the priorities of Montenegro, such long processes can be considered a business barrier. Our recommendation is to include all subjects and to try to find together a model that would support the need of this sector for dynamics”

Cover you all
A number of factors influenced Promonte choice of Platije canyon as place for the first green repeater. The first and the basic one in everything we do are our customers who need the best and continuous coverage. The chosen location is one of the rare points of the road in Morača canyon where the signal coverage can still be improved, so that the customers feel even more secure in this road line. Apart from that, we have recognized that in this micro-location there are good conditions regarding the renewable energy sources, in this case wind and sun.

„At the same time, electric energy is not available at this moment, and the construction of such infrastructure could influence the environment in a negative way which can not be excused, specially having in mind that the repeater has relatively low consumption (700kWh annually). “ said Jovan Ivanovic, Business support Manager and explain characteristics of this hybrid system: „2 wind generators “Suprwind” with additional equipment, solar system with 8 photovoltaic modules, Aku batteries, which accumulate the surplus of energy produced. Expected production of hybrid system is 700KWh for one year what is enough for continuous repeater work and quality signal in tunnels"

One more important thing is that the project and implementation work was conducted by local company, System d.o.o., that showed extraordinary dedication and commitment to the project but as well protection of the environment.

“I have to acknowledge that it has been a great pleasure to cooperate with the people who recognized the significance of application of alternative energy sources for power-supplying of these systems. Systems such as this one have been power-supplied until now by aggregates that use liquid fuel for operation and emit significant quantities of CO2 and other toxic components into the atmosphere, and Promonte Company made a decision to apply such a solution giving in that way its contribution to exploitation of an enormous potential of Montenegro in relation to renewable energy sources and preservation of environment“ said Ljubomir Bošković, Director of the company System d.o.o.

Apart from the representatives of the Promonte Company and a great number of media, Srđan Mihaljević – Deputy Minister for Maritime Affairs, Transportation and Telecommunications as well as representatives of the Agency for Environmental Protection of Montenegro Zoran Mitrović and Mladen Đuranović were also present at today’s opening of the repeater.

Class on Recycling in Promonte
Promonte company has hosted students of the fourth grade from primary school “Milorad Musa Burzan“, in order to hold a common class on recycling.



In an imaginative and interesting way, the youngsters explained to the employees in Promonte the ways to protect environment and how different materials can influence its polluting.

The children had the chance to hear more about Promonte compaign “Old phone, new life“, mobile phones recycling and the projects that our company is going to support with the collected funds from the recycled phones.



The most touching moment, that provoqued tears of joy with some, was when the small fighters for environment, letter by letter, pronounced the name of our company: Profesionalni (Professional), Radni (Hard-working), Otmeni (Elegant), Moji (Mine), Odvažni (Courageous), Nasmijani (Smiling), Tačni (Punctual), Ekspresni (Express)!

After the class on recycling, the children were treated to specialties of the canteen „Primo piano“, and they were also given presents, as a thanks and in memory of this small-big day.

Promonte company have once more proven that they work on raising environmental awareness through various activities, this time with the youngest ones.




Promonte starts mobile phones recycling action

With the aim of contributing to protection of environment, Promonte has for the first time in Montenegro launched a big action of old mobile phones recycling. With this campaign Promonte will take an active part in solving the increasing problem of electronic waste and raising ecological awareness of Montenegrin public.



„Promonte campaign is a part of the campaign which is being implemented on the Telenor Group level under the title OLD PHONE, NEW LIFE. This is a pioneer work in Montenegro, because there were no initiatives for organized collecting and disposal of waste mobile phones. We hope that this campaign will achieve a significant success, for the benefit of all of us.” – stated Mike Michel, Promonte CMO.

To all Promonte existing and future postpaid customers who bring their old mobile phone during the recycling action, Promonte company gives a discount of 20 Euro for the purchase of a new phone or 300 minutes of free on net traffic in the following three months.

This valuable donation, which was announced at early spring by the Chief Executive Officer, Mr Christopher Laska, was presented to the Director of Pljevlja Primary Health Care Center by Ms Ana Radulović, the Chief Corporate Affairs officer, who pointed out as follows: "Promonte is acknowledged as a responsible member of the Montenegrin society, focusing our social responsibility strategy on three areas: health care system, education and environmental protection. We will endeavor to contribute to development of Montenegrin society in the future as well, primarily by focusing on the activities integrated in our core business.“

The Primary Health Care Center Director, Ms Vera Bojović, said that a mammography was indispensable to that health care institution, it being the most efficient measure for early diagnosing of breast cancer. She announced that Pljevlja Primary Health Care Center, after education of the personnel, would commence inviting female co-citizens for this examination.

She also pointed out that this donation was especially significant for their institution because this device would be used by citizens of the Municipalities of Žabljak and Pljevlja respectively, who previously had had to ask for that kind of health service in the surrounding cities.


Earth hour

„Earth hour“is the name of the global campaign and one of the biggest global initiatives for climate change.

„Earth hour“ campaign started in Sidney, Australia, in 2007, with 2.2 million houses and companies that switched off their lights for one hour. Only a year later, this event turned into a global movement, with around 100 million participants in about 35 countries.
The world sights, such as Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Colosseum in Rome, and Coca-Cola billboard at the Times Square, were in the dark as a symbol of hope for something that is becoming an increasingly urgent problem from one hour to the next.

Promonte is the Company that has been seriously focused on this problem for quite a long time, with the aim to make impact on the awareness of its employees, citizens, and customers of its services to preserve nature, and thereby the future of all of us.

Promonte is going to support this campaign by switching off the spot lights that light up the sign, put up on the dome of its building.

We wish to invite you to take over the responsibility as well and, on March 28, at 20:30 hours, to support the fight against global warming, by switching off the lights for one hour together with the people all over the world – the Earth hour.

Pilot project of digital inclusion

Promont has launched a pilot project of digital inclusion with five non-governmental organizations that deal with the problem areas of persons with disabilities.

The objective of this project is to enable the persons with disabilities to use mobile Internet anywhere, with the laptop and modem, which will make easier for them to be at the very source of information at all times and thus be included in the life of the social community to the maximum.



This activity has been planned as a long-term project.

Should the pilot project prove to be successful and useful for the persons with disabilities, Promonte will later also extend the project to other non-governmental organizations that are actively engaged in this problem area.

The success of a company is not measured just by good performance and outstanding position in the market, but also by its responsibility to the community in which it does business and to its people. The evidence of this statement is the fact that the Telenor Group, the owner of Promonte Company, is the first on the list of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. This index ranks international companies on the basis of the assessment of their overall financial, social, and environmental impact.



The Telenor Group Ranked Number One
Telenor has been ranked number one on sustainability in mobile telecommunications on the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (DJSI) for the second year in a row. The DJSI ranked Telenor as the industry leader among 17 mobile telecommunications companies on the combined performance on a range of economic, social and environmental criteria.

This is the seventh year that Telenor has been ranked highly on the DJSI. The Indexes rank how well companies conduct their business based on 98 in-depth questions on economic, social and environmental aspects of Sustainability. This is the world's most comprehensive annual analysis of sustainability trends and corporate sustainability performance. The research is based on extensive internal and external documentation.

Long term investment in sustainability
Telenor’s achievement is the result of a sustained focus on improving the company’s corporate responsibility performance across the Group. “We are pleased that the DJSI recognise our long term investment in improving the sustainability of all our operations,” said Hilde Tonne, Executive Vice President, Communications and Corporate Responsibility.

Improvement needed on supply chain performance
The DJSI report recognised that Telenor still has some way to go in order to ensure sustainability across the supply chain, with a ranking of 51 per cent (compared to the industry average of 49 per cent). Telenor submitted information on the unacceptable working conditions revealed in Bangladesh as well as the comprehensive ongoing measures taken.

Compares favourably to competitors
The analysis covered a wide-range of non-financial aspects of Telenor’s business. Digital Inclusion and Climate Strategy were two areas where Telenor received a top score. “The combined score reflects that while there are areas where we need to improve, the overall sustainability performance of Telenor compares favourably to that of our competitors.” said Mai Oldgard, Vice President, Corporate Responsibility, Telenor Group.

Company Promonte has donated 50 000 Euros to the Special Hospital for pulmonary diseases and tuberculosis Brezovik. That is one of specialized hospitals in Montenegro and it is a public service for all Montenegrin citizens.
