Vodafone’ commitment to sustainability encompasses both our own impact as a network operator and that of our customers as consumers of our products and services.

Reducing our own impact on the planet is one of the five pillars of our sustainability strategy. Planet (vodafone.com). This year, as part of the acceleration guided by our social contract and our commitment to “build back better”, we achieved our target to purchase 100% renewable electricity in Europe from July 2021. Building on previous commitments, we set a new Science-Based Target to reduce our carbon emissions, and we set a net zero goal.

We also see a key role for our digital networks and technologies in helping to address climate change. Digitalisation is key to saving energy, using natural resources more efficiently and creating a circular economy. By helping our customers to become more efficient we in turn help them to reduce their emissions. Our technologies and services provide our customers with the means to achieve a reduction in their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We are committed to helping all our business customers reduce their own carbon emissions by a cumulative total of 350 million tonnes globally by 2030.
