Telenor Pakistan has won the 11th Annual International Corporate Social Responsibility Award for its continued achievement in empowering and positively impacting populations, this time for its initiatives in digital learning, environmental stewardship, and child protection. Telenor Pakistan received the prestigious CSR Award, which was filed with the IPO of the Government of Pakistan, during an event held in Karachi on March 2, 2022.
Abdullah Abdur Rehman Khan, Telenor Pakistan’s Head of Sustainability, received the award. Key stakeholders from the corporate sector, government agencies, NGOs, academics, and a few media organisations attended the event. Telenor Pakistan received a diversity and inclusion award last year for its Open Mind Pakistan campaign and the Disability Job Portal.
“Awards like these reinforce Telenor Pakistan’s commitment to what matters most,” said Kamal Ahmed, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Telenor Pakistan, in response to the achievement. Telenor Pakistan’s sustainability programmes and efforts are essential milestones in the right direction, as they help to empower people and close the digital divide.”
