  Fighting climate change

  Fighting climate change; We believe that urgent and sustained action is required to address the climate emergency. Business success should not come at a cost to the environment, and we are committed to ensure the greening of all our activities. 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.; Our carbon reduction targets support those introduced in 2019 when the UK Government amended the Climate Change Act 2008 by introducing a target of at least a 100% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK by 2050. Vodafone’s own target, validated by the Science Based Target initiative, is to achieve net zero by 2040. We produce an annual Carbon Reduction Plan in line with PPN 06/21 which outlines the environmental management measures that will be applied in the performance of our contracts.; The Carbon Reduction Plan is published on our website here: Protecting the Planet | Vodafone UK

  Covid-19 recovery

  Covid-19 recovery; At Vodafone, we believe that everyone, everywhere should have access to technology. That is why our initiative – everyone.connected – was launched during the pandemic to close the digital divide.; The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a global economic crisis, creating a greater need for focus on inclusion and equality. As a technology brand, we are determined to support those who need it most – students, jobseekers, small businesses, remote communities and the elderly. This is because we know that being connected creates endless opportunities; from remote working, to education and staying in touch.; We will keep doing all we can to make sure nobody is left behind – because when people are connected, equal opportunities are created and the future is brighter. ; The programme has continued post-COVID and we are now committed to helping 4 million UK people and businesses cross the digital divide by the end of 2025. Details on our programme and our on-going commitments ; can be found here: everyone connected | Tackle the digital divide | Vodafone UK

  Tackling economic inequality

  Tackling economic inequality; Vodafone is committed to tackling economic inequality by helping to create new businesses, jobs, and skills. Since forming in Newbury, Berkshire in 1982, we have purchased products and services globally to innovate and achieve business growth.; Today, Vodafone works with over 9,000 suppliers. We’re strong advocates of the ‘one company, local roots’ concept. By creating opportunities for new businesses and supporting supply chain resilience, we enable our suppliers to recruit and grow. In turn, our partners maintain their own diverse supply chains of smaller, local partners, technology start-ups and market specialists. ; We encourage small and medium sized enterprises in our own supply chain, e.g. by offering them positive scoring in our RFQ process (which has a 20% weighting for sustainability responses) if they commit to introducing policies that align with Vodafone’s purpose. In this way, we aim to drive positive change in the supply chain. ; ; Vodafone is committed to tackling economic inequality for disadvantaged groups and areas. We support the UK Government’s ‘Good Work Plan’, the levelling up agenda and the Government’s priorities such as reduced reoffending and increased opportunities for disabled people. We work with leading public service provider, PeoplePlus, to help create opportunities for individuals from lower income households who may face barriers to employment. They are a national UK wide company and extension of the UK Job Centre who aim to deliver skills and training to ensure people can access the right employment and enhance their career prospects.; ; Vodafone’s work experience strategy addresses the underrepresentation of certain groups across the Technology workforce. We have offered work experience to over 4000 students since 2017 through programmes such as #CodeLikeAGirl and Innovators virtual work experience programme. Both programmes target a proportion of ethnic minority, female, and low social mobility students.

  Equal opportunity

  Equal opportunity; We are committed to equal opportunities in our workforce. Through our recruitment processes we:; o use gender neutral advertising for vacancies posted, running the advertisements through a gender decoder; o actively ensure diverse shortlists are provided to hiring managers as well as having diverse interview panels to ensure the candidate feels as comfortable as possible throughout the process; o Limit the “criteria/ essential” skills and reduce technical jargon where possible; o Anonymise CVs removing names, pro-nouns and photos ; o Remove university education from CVs ; o Run training for hiring managers on topics such as inclusive hiring, race and ethnicity, accessibility, discrimination, allyship and gender diversity. ; o Run campaigns related to diversity and inclusion with an intersectional approach aimed at increasing brand awareness and perception of Vodafone as a diverse and inclusive employer, as well as job applications. ; o Partner with external organisations to help create opportunities to attract greater diversity into our workforce. These include myGWork, a network for LGBTQ+ talent, Black Young Professionals network, and Evenbreak who have a community of 70,000 talent with disabilities.; o We have publicly available Fair Pay Principles that govern our approach to reward. ; ; Vodafone has come together with Ofcom and other organisations to sign Women in Tech, a pledge committing to promote the role of women in technology-based roles in the telecoms sector. We are committed to work together to increase senior representation of women, share best practice and help to drive change in Vodafone and across the industry. Our company goal is 45% women in management roles by 2030.; ; We have a range of employee networks who advocate for different groups including groups for LGBTQ+, BAME and disabled employees. We are signatories of the Race at Work Charter, Disability Confident Scheme and Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Scheme.

  Wellbeing; Vodafone’s Group Health, Safety and Wellbeing Policy expands on the Code of Conduct, setting out our commitment to establish a robust and durable health, safety and wellbeing culture. This policy is accompanied by detailed standards setting out the specific steps that must be taken to manage our greatest risks.; https://www.vodafone.com/about-vodafone/who-we-are/people-and-culture/workplace-safety/our-approach-to-safety; ; We have a multi-faceted employee wellbeing programme which covers:; • Physical health, including discounted gym membership, free access to a remote GP and discounted/free health assessments.; • Emotional and mental health.
