Armenia Leading Telecommunications Operator VivaCell-MTS is the
first mobile operator in Armenia that has successfully implemented
ISO 26000 guidelines.
The ISO 26000 performance assessment measures organizational
performance and improvement in socially responsible behavior. ISO
26000 is the International Standard providing guidelines for social
responsibility. As a guidance tool the ISO 26000 is a pull of offers
voluntary in adoption.
ISO 26000 encourages organizations to reconsider their behavior with
regard to stakeholders or and to select from ISO 26000 recommendations
those which are applicable to the companies in their respective
spheres of communication with the society.
ISO 26000 addresses seven key areas of social responsibility, with
each one including issues, with recommendations on steps and actions.
VivaCell-MTS' performance was evaluated across, and found fully
corresponding to the requirements of those seven key areas: ~U
Organizational governance ~U Human rights ~U Labor practices ~U
Environment ~U Fair operating practice ~U Consumer issues ~U Community
involvement and development
The above principles correspond to the Core Values of VivaCell-MTS
adopted by the Company since its inception.
A joint press conference was held today at VivaCell-MTS Headquarters,
presided by VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian and Martin
Neureiter, the CEO of The CSR Company.
Ralph Yirikian said, in particular: "By passing successful ISO
26000 performance assessment, VivaCell-MTS not only has proven its
dedication and commitment to high standards of corporate behavior,
but also confirmed that corporate social responsibility is an integral
part of its business."
Martin Neureiter, the CEO of The CSR Company Ltd., said: "VivaCell-MTS
is among the first in the world to receive confirmation of the
implementation of the recommendations of the ISO 26000 Guideline,
and for sure, the first in the CIS countries."
