The connectivity we provide continues to be critical to the way that people interact, businesses operate and government services function. Since I set out my plans to transform Vodafone two years ago, Vodafone has changed. We have reshaped Europe, we are seeing the positive impact of our drive for customer satisfaction in all our markets – most noticeably in the UK and Germany – and we have delivered strong operational improvements across the business. Clearly there is much more to do, but this period of transition has repositioned Vodafone for multi-year growth.

A year ago I set out my plans to transform Vodafone, including the need to right-size Europe for growth. Since then, we have announced a series of transactions and we are now delivering growth in all of our markets across Europe and Africa.

CHANGE
Transformation gaining momentum
In May 2023, we set out our new roadmap to transform Vodafone along with three strategic priorities: Customers, Simplicity and Growth. We measure our operational progress in these areas through a consistent scorecard, summarised below. Over the last two years, we have made good progress against these priorities. We have reshaped our European footprint, reset our capital structure, improved customer satisfaction, simplified our operations and grown digital services.
