At Telenor Pakistan, we believe that corporate volunteering has arrived as a major focus in the way business and community form and view their relationships. It is an initiative in which the corporation supports and encourages employees, partners, and/or franchise members to volunteer their time to support local community organizations and causes. Volunteering in the community along with corporate support is viewed by many as one of the most satisfying of all forms of corporate social involvement.

Keeping in mind corporate volunteerism, Telenor Pakistan developed the idea of Go Teams which comprised of Telenor employees and play a vital role in all our emergency response projects. To honor these Go Teams, Telenor Pakistan recently organized Volunteer Extraordinaire 2008 conference to recognize, reward and further enhance employee contribution towards corporate volunteerism. An extensive training on ‘how to responds in emergencies’ was given to all volunteers representing six telecom regions of Telenor Pakistan. Currently, Telenor is also operating a Zakat Fund through which employees can donate part of their monthly salaries for the earthquake affected children in SOS Shelters. Whether Dua, Telecom Futures, apnaPCO, Naya Qadam, emergencies and others, the support and hard work of Telenor employees has helped position Telenor Pakistan as a leader in corporate responsibility.
