private market as early as 1999 and then in the
business market in 2003. In 2009 we created a
solution for distributing invoices by e-mail. Thus
small businesses could also receive electronic
invoices. The following year we established Telenor
Norway's Environmental Management System
(EMS), details of which are provided on another
page in this chapter. In establishing the EMS
we stipulated targets and measures in the area
called "electronic distribution of information". The
transition to electronic invoices is an important
measure for achieving the targets in this
environmental area.
In the period 2008-2011 we produced in total 62.8
million invoices at Telenor Norway, and of these
nearly 16 million were sent electronically. In 2012
we sent about 5.3 million invoices electronically,
which corresponds to about 37% of all invoices.
