ArmInfo. Team Telecom Armenia, a technology partner of COP17, announced the launch of an environmental campaign on October 19 under the slogan "Caring with Action." According to Team's press service, the campaign aims to develop the habit of caring for nature on a daily basis.
As part of the announced initiative, the company offers three solutions. From October 19 to November 19, individuals will be able to hand over their old mobile phones at Team Telecom Armenia sales and service centers.
— whether working or not—and receive a 5% discount on the purchase of an Apple, Xiaomi, or Honor smartphone for each device returned. The goal of the offer is to foster a culture of responsible consumption, whereby old phones are not thrown away.
Furthermore, Team, in partnership with the Armenia Tree Project, has initiated a tree planting program. All subscribers who subscribe to one of Team Telecom Armenia's COSMO or COMBO packages during the specified period will participate in an environmental campaign. For each new subscription, Team will plant one tree.
"Our partnership at COP17 is about more than just technology. We believe that technological progress and sustainable development must go hand in hand. That's why we're launching environmental initiatives during the conference, engaging our partners and subscribers. Our goal is to foster an understanding that the everyday choices each of us makes can positively impact the environment, and to translate this understanding into concrete actions," noted Aram Barseghyan, CEO of Team Telecom Armenia.
"For over 30 years, Armenia Tree Project has been working with the belief that caring for nature must translate into concrete actions." Having planted over 10 million trees in various communities across Armenia, we know that every tree represents a long-term responsibility—from nurturing seedlings to creating vibrant forests. We are pleased that our partnership with Team Telecom Armenia has given us the opportunity to engage thousands of people in creating a green future for Armenia. COP17 is an important opportunity to demonstrate that biodiversity conservation is not just the responsibility of environmental organizations: businesses and every citizen can make a real contribution to positive change. This initiative is an example of precisely this kind of collaboration, where everyday choices become long-term investments in nature," noted Armenia Tree Project Board of Trustees member Anthony Barsamyan. Starting October 19th, the EcoLink service will also be available to corporate clients. Companies that subscribe to the service will be able to charge their electric vehicles at Team Energy charging stations with a 10% discount.
"It is especially important for us to walk this path together—with our subscribers, corporate clients, and partners—as environmental responsibility is a shared culture shaped by the choices and actions of each of us. We are pleased to be building this future together with our clients and partners," noted Tigran Frangyan, Commercial Director of Team Telecom Armenia.
As part of the "Caring with Business" initiative, Team Telecom Armenia is encouraging practical steps to protect the environment during COP17, striving to make environmental responsibility a part of everyday behavior with the participation of partners and clients.
Team believes it is important that sustainable development principles are reflected in the daily operations and decisions of its business. The company is increasing its use of renewable energy, developing its own solar power generation, taking measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, expanding its electric vehicle fleet, implementing paper-saving and digitalization solutions, and developing a network of Team Energy electric vehicle charging stations throughout Armenia.
The company's greenhouse gas emission reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative "SBTi". Furthermore, Team became the first telecommunications company in Armenia to issue sustainability bonds, making specific commitments to reduce the environmental impact of its operations.
According to the source, Team Telecom Armenia also successfully completed an environmental management system audit for compliance with the ISO 14001:2015 standard and received the corresponding certificate, strengthening the company's systematic approach to environmental protection.
