Corporate social responsibility

MTS, the largest mobile operator in Russia and the CIS, embraces social responsibility and makes a commitment to society and the environment by recognizing the impact that our decisions and actions can make. Our sense of responsibility is reflected in the ethical standards of our business activities, whereby we:

• Invest in stable development, in social health and prosperity.
• Consider the interests of all parties involved.
• Follow the rules and practices of the markets in which we operate or are regulated, while emulating international standards of business behavior.
• Facilitate greater information transparency and enhance corporate governance.
• These standards are to be followed in all our relations with partners and consumers.

One of MTS’ goals is to fully integrate this responsibility and adopt it in all our interactions with customers, employees, partners and regulators.

Our CSR strategy has been established with regard to the requirements of our society and our customers. Its main aim is to improve the quality of peoples’ lives.

By quality of life, we mean the synergy between criteria, socio-economic or other, which reflect the level and extent to which people have achieved prosperity in the various areas of their lives. A high quality of life is evidence of stable social development, both of society and individuals.
