Role purpose
This exciting new role will be responsible for overseeing Vodafone’s policy approach to Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance topics, and representing Vodafone to external stakeholders.
At Vodafone we have taken great strides to integrate Sustainability into our core business through our Purpose strategy. We have assessed where we can have the greatest impact on the societies we operate in, and set ambitious goals to achieve this, including becoming Net Zero by 2040 and providing 75 million people with access to mobile financial services by 2026.
As sustainability rises up the policy agenda and becomes increasingly regulated, we are investing in our capacity to play a role in the ESG policy debate, and engage with policymakers on the topic.
