Our services bring a new level of comfort and communication freedom to our customers. At the same time, we strive to make our communications socially responsible and ethical.

 

As a socially responsible provider of communications services, VimpelCom Ltd. believes the safety of its customers and employees comes first. VimpelCom is dedicated to community activities and educational programs.

 

The World Healthcare Organization (WHO) coordinates international scientific development programs and consults governments on electromagnetic  radiation's effects on health. In July 2005, following a standard health risk assessment process, WHO experts concluded that there are no substantive health issues related to extremely low frequency (ELF) electric fields at levels generally encountered by members of the public.

 

The WHO believes that the international requirements include many factors that protect all people, including children. According to the WHO, present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children's' radio frequency (RF) exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using "hands-free" devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body. No recent reviews have concluded that exposure to the RF fields from mobile phones or their base stations cause any adverse health effects.

 

VimpelCom also believes the safety and security of its customers’ information is of utmost importance. The Company secures its users’ data in full compliance with relevant legislation. To achieve this goal, VimpelCom Ltd. introduced information protection systems required by law and recommended by the world community.

 

VimpelCom Ltd. also informs its mobile customers about threats that may cause money to be drawn down from their accounts, without their knowledge. The Company has held more than 50 round-table meetings in Russia and CIS since 2008, gathering experts across law enforcement, mass media representatives, and psychologists to address the problem of hacking.
