(MENAFN- AzerNews)
The leading mobile operator successfully held another event
dedicated to ESG principles. The event, titled "Sustainable
Development: Challenges and Solutions," was attended by industry
experts, representatives of government organizations, businesses,
and NGOs.
In her keynote speech, 'Sustainable Development Goals and the
Current Situation in Azerbaijan,' Kanako Mabuchi, the head of the
UN Resident Coordinator's Office in Azerbaijan, emphasized the
transformative power of mobile communication. She highlighted how
this tool, crucial for achieving the UN's Sustainable Development
Goals, is significantly shaping societal development.
"Actors of the telecommunications sector are key contributors to
sustainable development, making technology more accessible to the
most vulnerable populations. For instance, over the past seven
years, more than 2 billion people worldwide have gained access to
the internet through mobile phones. This, in turn, has helped
reduce the digital divide and facilitate access to information
resources," noted Kanako Mabuchi.
The panel discussion organized as part of the event included
participation from Nigar Arpadarai, the member of Milli Majlis and
UN High-Level Climate Change Champion at COP29, Samir Mamedov, head
of the UN Global Compact in Azerbaijan, and Shirin Aliyeva,
Azercell's Chief Legal, Ethics, and Compliance Officer.
In her speech, Nigar Arpadarai spoke about global trends in ESG,
the current state and prospects of sustainable development
worldwide, and the COP29 summit, which will be held in Baku this
year.
Samir Mamedov discussed the collaboration opportunities between
the public and private sectors in sustainable development
initiatives in Azerbaijan and the local business approach to
ESG.
Shirin Aliyeva presented the leading mobile operator's ESG
report to the event participants and shared detailed information
about the company's activities in sustainable development. Shirin
Aliyeva noted that Azercell's ESG report is a testament to the
operator's responsibility towards its partners in ensuring
transparency and sustainable development, which is the foundation
of Azercell's strategic goal of“Easing connectivity, empowering
lives!".
