Vodacom exists to connect for a better future.
We recognise that to deliver on this purpose, ESG must be integrated into what
we do.
ESG is not a distinct strategy or set of activities separate from our daily management of the
business; it is
embedded into Vodacom’s purpose-led strategy, business model and activities through priority ESG
initiatives.
Our purpose-led strategy serves as our ESG framework, driving the Group to manage ESG risks and
deliver
positive impact through ESG-related opportunities, considering our operating context,
stakeholder
expectations and developing ESG regulations and standards.
This strategy – which at its core remains connecting for a better future by
enabling a trusted digital society
that is inclusive and sustainable – focuses on ‘Empowering people’ and ‘Protecting the planet’
and is underpinned by our commitment to Maintaining trust in everything we do.
Contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals
We have defined ESG goals linked to local and global ambitions, such as local government
development plans and UN SDGs.
