Community and the Environment
Community
The Group supports ongoing community programmes around the world,
ensuring a continued commitment to the prosperity and safety of the
locality in which it has a presence. This support is not only financial; it is
also cultivated through the provision of products and services and the
personal involvement of its employees in their community, both by
private arrangement and through the Group.
The Group operating companies support cultural and sporting activities
and local fund-raising events across a broad spectrum, to the benefit of
individual areas and communities. Links are maintained between the
Group’s business units and the education sector through Group
representation on local educational bodies at all levels. Industrial placements within the Group are offered to teachers and
work experience placements to students to strengthen this link. In addition, community based activities are undertaken by
younger employees through the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme in the UK.
Adaptations of Vodafone’s mobile communications services provide wide ranging benefits to serve the special needs of a
number of different sections of the community, including the disabled, police community initiatives and a variety of
innovative ‘Watch’ schemes aimed at preventing crime.
