The engagement@telekom platform shows our broad commitment to supporting the society we live in—both as a company and through the volunteer efforts of our employees. The engagement@telekom initiative is providing support at three levels:

• Corporate volunteering and corporate giving
• Employee participation 
• Disaster relief

The activities conducted as part of the engagement@telekom platform during the reporting period focused on corporate giving and corporate volunteering. The activities begun in spring 2012 in the area of media skills will be a focal point of corporate volunteering during the upcoming reporting period.

International expansion.
Telekom plans to incorporate its international activities into the engagement@telekom platform as well. The CR managers from the international subsidiaries discussed approaches and the next steps for this during the reporting period. The first of these initiatives to take place under the engagement@telekom umbrella were launched during 2011 International Volunteer Day on December 5th at international subsidiaries, e.g., in Austria and Poland. The first international collaboration with our partner organization DKMS, the German bone marrow donor center, began with PTC in Poland.
