We support communities, especially those in need, leaving no-one behind.
Promoting diversity and inclusion
The way we see it, the best innovations happen when diverse people with different perspectives collaborate. In fact, it’s only when we harness the power of different points of view around us that we progress as an organisation – challenging the way we do things and then doing them better – not just for our employees, but for our customers and communities too.
What we’re doing
We’re committed to driving parity across our workforce, supply chain, and services. With a goal of 40% women in management by 2030, we’ve already reached 35% – supported by progressive policies on parental leave, menopause, and domestic abuse.
Beyond our business, we design services that bring more women online and improve access to education, health, safety, and economic opportunity. Initiatives like our Mum & Baby service, which provides free maternal and child health information across Africa, are making a real difference. And through partnerships with organisations such as UN Women and ChangeTheFace, we’re working to accelerate equality across our industry and beyond.
GOALS
We aim to have 40% women in management roles by 2030 in Europe and Africa.
Supporting those most in need
At Vodafone Foundation, we’re using technology to help address some of the world’s most pressing problems; reducing maternal mortality, supporting those affected by domestic violence, abuse and hate crime, closing the education gap and improving emergency response.
What we’re doing
Education & digital skills
Empowering young and old with digital skills: Through Skills Upload and HiDigital, we are working in partnership with communities, educators, NGOs and governments across 14 European markets to support primary and secondary school pupils, and adults not in education, employment or training and the over 65s to be confident online with the digital capabilities and tools to reach their potential.
Improving emergency response
Instant Network deploys employee volunteers and technologies to restore and provide free communications and technical support to aid agencies, survivors and refugees in natural and humanitarian emergencies.
NG-SOS connects 4m people in four countries to the emergency services, using location tracking to accelerate how quickly they are found, saving more lives.
m-mama provides 24/7 emergency transport for mothers and new-borns in Tanzania and Lesotho, enabling them to access life-saving healthcare. To date, m-mama has reduced maternal mortality in live regions by 38%.
Action against abuse
We use app technology to connect over 2.6 million people affected by domestic violence, abuse and hate crime with advice, support and education. Initiatives include Bright Sky that provides people in 13 markets to support and information on how to respond to domestic abuse, Zoteria, which creates a safer world for LGBTQ+ people, and Tozi, to tackle cyber-bullying.
