The germany-wide education campaign, "The raw materials expedition – discover what's hidden inside your cell phone," conducted by the german Federal ministry of education and Research (bmbF), which we actively supported, was an important factor in trigge- ring this development.

They use Tsn to reach employees, to share information with them and to give employees an idea of what they do. Tsn has changed our internal corporate communication processes, since more and more emphasis is being placed on dialog and emplo- yees are increasingly deciding which information is relevant. it gives them the opportunity to actively participate in developing our corporate communication structure. The topic of raw materials in iCT products was a key focus of various stakeholder dialog events in which we participated in 2013. we regu- larly address the topic, for example, in our discussions with the german environmental organization, Deutsche umwelthilfe Duh. Together with Duh, the wuppertal institute for Climate, environment and energy, and nokia, we held a workshop entitled "social and environmental responsi- bility in raw materials extraction" with stakeholders from governmental organizations, research institutes and ngos in 2013. we also held regular discussions with the initiators of the Clean Cell phone campaign conducted by the missio Catholic mission support charity in 2013. among other things, Telekom participated in a press talk held by missio as part of this campaign. Former german Federal minister of Justice, herta Däubler-gmelin, and Therese mema, a social worker from bukavo in eastern Congo, were among the discussion par- ticipants. Together with ngos and the device producer Fairphone, we discussed Telekom's CR activities at a panel discussion entitled "on trend but ruthless" at the Fa!R2013 fair trade exhibition in Dortmund in september 2013. global compact leAD.

The summit was opened by un general secretary ban ki-moon, who called upon participants to help build susta- inability through the market place. The fourth global Compact leaD symposium was held in December at the invitation of the Japanese global Compact network in Tokyo. Topics of discussion focused on sustainable processes for setting targets and creating a commitment platform in the context of the post-2015 Develop- ment agenda. in addition to participating in these events, Telekom also took part in the leaD project module, Realizing long-Term Value for Companies and Tsn also serves as an exchange platform for CR topics at Telekom. in october 2013 the Chief human Resources officer, blogged on Tsn about his intensive dialog with our CR team. The CR team also uses Tsn to inform employees and get them involved. For example, the CR team initiated a corporate responsibility group in which more than 300 employees have been participating since the beginning of 2014. participants were asked, for example, to vote on how to distribute the money that we collect from employees who use emission-heavy com- pany cars (penalties payable under the green Car policy ). based on the vote, we donated 150,000 euros to ten different environmental projects. we successfully called on employees via the Tsn to participate in blood drives and bone marrow typing drives , to donate money, to get involved in relief activities for flood victims and to participate in social Days. stakeholder dialog “growing through knowledge. on 4 october 2013 hrvatski Telekom staged its stakeholder dialog conference "growing through knowledge" for the sixth year in succes- sion.
