“Bakcell contributes largely to development of various spheres in Azerbaijan by means of its Corporate Social Responsibility projects and other activities. Some of them are similar to the Sustainable Development Goals, especially those aimed at ensuring equality, developing the education, supporting the economic development, innovation and etc. We are confident that businesses play an important role in achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and elimination of the related problems in our country in general. For instance, being a telecommunications company, we clearly see our role and responsibility to serve the improvement of the people’s welfare by supporting innovative technologies and innovative ideas,” says Head of PR and Corporate Communications Department of Bakcell Suheyla Jafarova.
