VEON Recognised for Crisis Response at World Communication Awards
2023
Amsterdam, 27 November 2022 - VEON Ltd.
(NASDAQ: VEON, Euronext Amsterdam: VEON), a global digital operator
that provides converged connectivity and online services, today
announces that it has been recognised with the Crisis Response
Award for its group-wide emergency response initiatives in Ukraine,
Pakistan, Bangladesh and beyond at the World Communication Awards
2023.
The World Communication Awards, presented in Amsterdam on 22
November 2023 and hosted after the conclusion of the Total Telecoms
Congress, is adjudicated by over 90 independent industry experts,
academics and chief technical officers, and is widely recognised as
one of the most prestigious awards in the telecommunications
industry.
During the past two years, VEON’s digital operators have
prioritised putting technology to use for the most vulnerable
people and communities who have survived against all odds during
the war in Ukraine, devastating floods in Pakistan, or Cyclone
Mocha in Bangladesh.
VEON was recognised for its “comprehensive approach to
some of the most difficult operating environments on Earth, both
due to natural disasters and man-made conflicts including a focus
on network resilience, early disaster-warning apps, and
humanitarian aid.” Noted were Kyivstar’s efforts to keep Ukrainians
connected at home, in shelters, and abroad, maintaining
telecommunications network despite shelling and power blackouts.
All while providing digital health services through the largest
medical information platform, Helsi. The award equally recognised
MyBL, a super app by VEON’s digital operator in Bangladesh, showed
the movement of Cyclone Mocha in real time. Jazz’s Mobile Health
Units continue to serve communities in Pakistan where access to
clean water has not been restored since the floods of June 2023 .
This comprehensive approach and the success of VEON’s crisis
response are the results of VEON teams’ determination to go above
and beyond “business as usual” to serve their countries and
communities in need.
"VEON’s emergency response initiatives have proved critical in
safeguarding against national disasters and ensuring crucial
communication lines remain open throughout geopolitical
challenges,” stated VEON Group CEO Kaan Terzioğlu. Across the
Group, we've secured connectivity for all, fostered future
development, and facilitated the distribution of humanitarian
assistance to those in need.”
The award was received by Kyivstar Chief Technical Officer,
Volodymyr Lutchenko, VEON’s DO1440 Officer, Lasha Tabidze, VEON
Group Diversity and Inclusion Officer, and Ana de Kok-Reyes.
