Energy and climate change

Promoting employee awareness

We communicate with our employees to increase awareness of climate change and encourage them to do their bit to save energy at work and at home.

Articles on energy use are included in our internal CR communications and we launched a dedicated intranet site on climate change in 2007. This interactive site is designed to get employees involved. It features a game where they can build a virtual world and see how their actions impact on the environment, and an employee forum to discuss climate change issues and exchange ideas. The site also sets out why climate change is important to Vodafone and lists a number of tips and suggestions to help employees reduce their own environmental impacts.

Launching our Group strategy
Chief Executive Arun Sarin announced our Group commitment to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% by 2020 via his online channel in April 2008. This also creates a platform for ongoing communication and feedback from employees.

Our local operating companies also run energy awareness campaigns.
For example, Vodafone UK ran environment roadshows across the country in 2007/08, encouraging employees to do their bit and help Vodafone achieve its climate target.
