For Orange, the question of trust has major implications. Indeed, our Group's vision of the world is based, through the very nature of its activity, on trust. By creating the possibility of dialogue and openness and allowing people to get to know one and other, by reducing distances, differences and indifference, communication is, at its core, a factor of cohesion, the development of exchanges and the strengthening of links. In this area, Orange will utilise the results of a survey of women's use of new technologies, carried out in the Orange Labs by the Usage Laboratory.
