For the last 17 years Telenor Pakistan has, and will steadfastly continue to remain committed to serving the country while maintaining the highest standard of ethics, compliance, and morality. As Pakistan rolls up its sleeves to transition into a diverse, multicultural, and multi-national economy, the business community must join hands in creating a welcoming environment for investment and prosperity. We pride ourselves on our robust code of conduct at Telenor Pakistan, and it was enlightening to share knowledge with other experts on our shared aim of creating a corruption-free business environment for everyone.”
