When the pandemic hit the world in 2020, it became evident that only companies that had adopted digitization and sound corporate sustainability strategies were able to absorb the shock.

Sustainability is increasingly becoming a necessity for corporations due to changing conditions around the world. Unlike the perspective around the corporate world which used to view Sustainability as a strategy that only leads to a negative impact on the net cost of the company, in Vodafone Group and Vodafone Egypt, we believe in the value of Sustainable Development and that it can bring quite a positive impact on the world at large and specifically the world economy, the community, the planet and the company itself.

In fact, it adds lots of value to the company; value to the brand, the customers, and the cost of operating. Moreover, it helps us attract the right talent and keep our employees motivated and loyal when believing that they work for an employer that genuinely cares for the world.

Being the biggest Tech Company in Egypt, we accepted the responsibility of helping our customers to benefit from our sustainability efforts and also offered them to take part in it through multiple products and services; from our core connectivity that left no one behind in having access to basic communication needs in the most underdeveloped areas in Egypt, to the e-Tadweer application sponsorship being the commonly used application for customers to recycle their electronic waste in return of a set of benefits offered by Vodafone and many of our enterprise partners. We also launched “Begin” which is our leading platform aimed to connect freelancers with SMEs and secure the payments for freelancers and the quality of work for SMEs. On top of that, we adopted the most intense diversity and inclusion standards through leading the Egyptian Gender Alliance to promote gender equality across our community. These are but a few of the many examples that we will be sharing with the readers of this report.

In this report, we take pride in sharing with the world our sustainable development practices with the hope that we become a catalyst for companies in Egypt to put more focus on the activities that matter to the world.

This is besides other immense amounts of implemented initiatives by Vodafone Egypt contributing to achieving the UNSDGs and the Egypt 2030 vision, and which reflect how manifested and strongly rooted it is in our purpose to create a better future with the use of technology, enabling an inclusive and sustainable Digital Egypt.

We draw inspiration from our commitment to a social contract to start innovative public-private partnerships, common projects with NGOs, and other initiatives such, as Hayah Kareema, involving multiple stakeholders. Providing a network in unprivileged and rural areas has been at the forefront of our infrastructure and core connectivity advancements.
