„STOP AIDS. Let Us Fulfill the Commitments Made. Take over the Initiative.”

World AIDS Day, the 1st of December, this year, in all the countries – members of the United Nations, is marked through the campaign under the title „STOP AIDS. Let Us Fulfill the Commitments Made. Take over the Initiative!“. This time, the global campaign is particularly targeted at the leaders in societies and at their role in the fight against this disease, which worldwide took almost 3 million lives in the course of 2005 and, in the same year, over 4 million persons were infected with HIV. AIDS is the problem, which calls for a major engagement on all levels of a society. It is indispensible that every member of the society gives his/her contribution to the response to HIV, so that the number of persons who carry this virus in Montenegro remains on a low level. The leaders, the elected senior officials in the society, in this case, should demonstrate responsibility and take over the decisive role.

This year as well, Promonte Company is the general sponsor of the activity of the non-governmental organization CAZAS, which marks the 1st of December within the National Campaign, which is launched in the entire territory of Montenegro. The prime mover of the Campaign on the national level is the Republic AIDS Commission, while CAZAS is one of the partners participating in its carrying on. This year, the campaign will last in the period between the 17th of November and the 10th of December and will be based on two main segments: fight against the stigma and discrimination, and the work with vulnerable groups.

In addition to the humanitarian concert, which was held in the coffee shop Nice Vice in Podgorica on the 30th of November, at which Boris Novkovic performed, within the plan of the campaign, CAZAS will realize numerous activities across Montenegro: ,,Travelling Van’’, the production and distribution of the informative, educational, and promotional materials, lectures, and forums at the faculties of the University of Montenegro, media, and sports activities.

„Also, it is our wish to raise public interest in conservation and revitalization of cultural and natural heritage through this and similar projects.
That is exactly a reason why this year we promote private-public partnership as a model for the future project of conservation and revitalization in cooperation with a mobile operator, Promonte”, the Minister of culture, sports and media Prof. Branislav Mićunović emphasized in a brochure that accompanies this year event, and in reference to the support Promonte company has given to celebration of the European Heritage Days in Montenegro.

Telenor ranked number one on Sustainability

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.

 CLIMATE CHANGES EVERYONE’S BUSINESS
Promonte employees volunteered in planting a park in the Montenegrin capital.

When we speak about “Climate Changes”, its targets and activities, we often make a conclusion that we need huge investments to reach the awareness and fulfill some of the goals. But this is not always the case. In order to prove it, Promonte started with a 5000 euro donation to the Municipality of Podgorica for planting the park around the new children’s playground. The action was first planned for June 5th, The World Environment Protection Day, but due to bad weather conditions it was delayed for June 12th.

On foot to the children playground


Aiming to raise the awareness of Promonte employees about climate changes and global warming as well as giving a good example to the wider public in Montenegro, we invited Promonte employees to plant the trees themselves. They demonstrated a high level of social responsibility by working hard voluntarily and planting many trees.

Building the awareness is the task that Promonte started to execute among media representatives as well. Some weeks ago, a seminar for Montenegrin journalist was organized to try “selling” the idea on climate changes. This is probably why the majority of printed and electronic media in Montenegro made a thorough report about our activity performed on Thursday. Some of the journalists did a step forward and joined Promonte employees in planting. This could be a positive example on how to raise the awareness about this issue with very limited amounts invested.


1,2,3 team build action

“With today’s action Promonte shows a symbolic way that it is very important that all of us care about protecting the environment. In the whole Telenor group, and consequently in Promonte, the project “Climate Changes” has been launched as we want to show that climate changes and global warming are everyone’s business. All of us could, by individual contribution, prove that we do care.” said Kare Gustad, CEO of Promonte, to the Montenegrin media.

“I am very happy and proud that one third of Promonte employees has supported this initiative and showed that they are responsible citizens and aware of the climate change problem. But most of all, I’m very pleased to see that our employees are willing to take an action that will contribute to the success of our program.”, said Dijana Dendic, owner of the Climate Change Program in Promonte.
