About this report

This report, which is Tele2s’ third sustainability report, summarizes the company’s 2010 Corporate Responsibility (CR) performance. Tele2 has decided to report CR performance according to the Global Reporting Initiative G3 (GRI) for the first time and will continue to do so annually. Our self-declared level of application of the GRI guidelines is C.

This CR report focuses on issues considered to be most relevant and material regarding Tele2’s economic, social and environmental performance, and where Tele2 can make a difference. The report is structured in the following areas: engaging with our stakeholders, customer loyalty, safety and integrity, our workplace, socioeconomic impact, community involvement and environmental footprint. For more information on how these areas were identified, see “Our focus”.

This report covers operations in all eleven markets where Tele2 is present, unless otherwise stated. However, Tele2’s operation in Kazakhstan is excluded in the calculations as the acquisition was finalised in March 2010 and the numbers would therefore not cover the whole year, with the exception for financial indicator EC 1. Joint ventures, subsidiaries, outsourced operations and leased facilities are not included in this report, unless specifically stated in the text, as efforts of accuracy and data gathering have been focused to impacts from significant operations. Data in this report refers to the fiscal year 2010, unless otherwise stated. Tele2’s annual report and other financial information can be found at www.tele2.com.
