Our Online Safety and Digital Literacy Programme has gradually evolved into a comprehensive Yettel strategy focused on fostering digital inclusion and equipping people with future-ready skills. With children and teenagers as our primary focus - given their vulnerability to online risks - we aim to guide them through the opportunities of technological innovation while helping them recognize and navigate potential challenges. Since the launch of our Sustainability Strategy, we have empowered a total of 127,000 individuals with essential knowledge for safe and responsible internet use.

Our recycling campaign in Serbia has been a success. Customers brought in 250,000 unused mobile phones, and we have extended the campaign to other telco devices. We are on track to recycling 1 million devices by 2025. Our company is not new to recycling. Last year, we recycled 11 tonnes of electronics, 3 tonnes of paper, and 300 kilograms of plastic. We have also pushed the use of e-bills, and the majority of our customers use this service.

O2 Fair Foundation is attempting to direct new generations to raise their media literacy and distinguish hoaxes and conspiracy from real news. Our initiatives seek modern, creative and digital approaches in the teaching process to support change from students, parents and teachers and the use of technology to break down stereotypes and barriers. This work addresses the values O2 identifies with – freedom, democracy, justice, transparency, equal opportunity, and respect for human rights.
