Vodafone Egypt Sustainability Report

Digital accessibility, regardless of location, ability, or background, is a fundamental right that empowers individuals and communities. However, we are aware that there are several barriers in the local market, such as lack of awareness, digital skills, and the high upfront cost of smartphones. As one of the leading players in the telecommunication sector, it is our responsibility to enable more Egyptians to enjoy the benefits of 4G connectivity, including faster speeds, better quality, and access to a wide range of digital services and applications.

We are aware of the growing societal challenges that affect millions of people in Egypt and beyond. These include the lack of access to quality education, persistent gender gaps, limited financial inclusion, and widespread poverty. We believe that digital technology can be a powerful force for good, enabling us to create innovative solutions towards an equal and inclusive society. We implement various programmes that empower individuals, schools, and provide communities with digital skills, tools, and support them through offering opportunities for a better life.

At Vodafone Egypt, we are steadfast in our commitment to creating a workplace that champions equality, embraces diversity, and fosters inclusivity. We firmly believe that our success in the telecommunications industry is intrinsically tied to our ability to develop a workforce that mirrors the diverse communities and societies we serve. Our purpose is not merely to provide connectivity; it is to make the world more connected, inclusive, and sustainable, where every individual can feel a sense of belonging and have his/her needs addressed. This commitment to fostering inclusivity and equality begins with our people.

At Vodafone, we are unwavering in our dedication to shaping a better future for everyone through digital transformation. As part of our mission, we are committed to minimizing our negative effects on the environment and promoting decarbonization. Energy conservation, more effective resource use, and the development of a circular economy all depend on digital technology. Our digital networks and technology have a significant impact on climate change mitigation.

In our unyielding commitment to curbing emissions across our own operations and as digital demands increase, Vodafone Egypt steadfastly invests in a wide array of energy efficiency measures and technologies to reduce GHG emissions. This ongoing dedication is not only aligned with our role in the evolving digital landscape but also mirrors our resolute response to the ever-pressing challenge of climate change.

At the heart of Vodafone Egypt’s planet strategy lies the pivotal concept of circularity. This strategic paradigm shift revolves around embracing a systems approach that considers the complete lifecycle of resources, aiming to eradicate waste and minimise our ecological footprint. Our unwavering commitment to circularity not only underscores our response to pressing environmental challenges but also drives us to maximise the utility of resources, all while championing responsible material recovery and reuse.
