Doha: As part of its ‘Go Green’ initiative, Ooredoo said yesterday it would not send paper bills to business customers who use its electronic billing options.
The ‘Go Green’ strategy is in support of Qatar National Vision 2030, which prioritises the protection of the environment.
Business customers who use Bill Express or eBilling services have also received a paper version of bills, along with bill formats and analyses.
With the new guidelines in place, business customers using these services will no longer receive a paper bill, as the company works to save resources, reduce waste and protect the environment.
Ooredoo’s research shows that Bill Express and eBilling services offer customers a more reliable, convenient, and easier-to-use way to store, access and manage information.
The Bill Express service offers customers access to their communications costs online in a real-time, easy-to-access format. The solution means that businesses can see areas that are driving communication costs, and take decisions to manage them.
Bill Express provides PDF and Excel versions of bills, which remove the need for paper bills. eBilling service offers easy-to-read PDF versions of monthly bills, enabling comparison of new bills with previous ones and offering Excel versions.
Ooredoo will provide paper-based billing for business customers who need them for specific and agreed reasons. Business customers who wish to sign up for Bill Express, eBilling services, or to continue to receive a paper bill can contact their account manager, or call 8008000.
Since stopping paper bills in December 2011, the company has reduced paper consumption by a huge margin, saving thousands of trees and making Qatar a greener place to live in.
