See “ Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business and Industry of Kyivstar — Risks Related to our Operations — The loss of important intellectual property rights, as well as third -party claims that we have infringed on their intellectual property rights, could significantly harm our business.” Sustainability Our approach to sustainability is centered around our mission to provide customers with connectivity, access to information and other vital digital services. We believe that connectivity and communication are essential humanitarian needs, whether it be connecting with loved ones, seeking help or searching for information and news from reliable sources, which is rooted in the “social” pillar of our environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) framework. Through the implementation of VEON’s strategy, based on three pillars ( i.e., “Digital Operator 1440,” “Digital Assets” and “Infrastructure”), we aim to transform lives, create opportunities for greater digital inclusion, empower people and drive economic growth. We engage with our stakeholders, aiming for the sustainable value creation and the long -termsuccess of our business. Our digital entrepreneurship and digital skills and literacy programs help us to contribute to long -termsocioeconomic value for the communities we serve. These programs promote digital inclusion and create new opportunities for participants, contributing to the demand for digital products and services, which in turn creates new opportunities for our business. In parallel with the “social” elements of our approach to ESG, we simultaneously ensure due attention is paid to the “governance” pillar. Indeed, we strive to act as good corporate citizens, promoting and reinforcing ethical business behavior with responsible corporate governance all with the aim of delivering on operational performance. We are committed to creating social and business value by making impactful investments that help create new services, partnerships and forums, which in turn enable and empower the people we serve. Our support for our industry’s ambitions corresponds with a variety of existing initiatives to reduce the energy intensity of our business. We continue to work to further reduce our emissions wherever possible, committing and acting by moving more toward focusing on how to further reduce energy consumption. We are focused on mitigating our carbon footprint and rolling out network energy -efficiencymeasures, which will contribute to a low -carboneconomy as well as offer us the potential to reduce our operating costs over time. We continue to upgrade existing diesel- and petrol -poweredunits with more energy -efficient,
