SUSTAINABILITY
AT VODAFONE

At Vodafone Qatar, we understand that the value of our company goes beyond the products and services we offer. It extends to our ability to generate economic, environmental, and social benefits. We focus our social investments around three crucial areas: digital enrichment, human prosperity, and safeguarding the planet. By doing so, we aim to strengthen personal connections, improve quality of life, and provide opportunities for a brighter future for all.

Sustainability Management Approach

Vodafone Qatar's sustainability management approach is a comprehensive strategy that aims to align business operations with environmental, social, and economic considerations. Our strategy targets three key areas: Inclusion for All, Planet, and Digital Society. Vodafone Qatar actively engages and supports the governing policies, practices, and disclosures ensuring that we operate responsibly and ethically.

Our sustainability framework, "Connecting for a Better Future," reflects the company's commitment to contributing positively to society and the planet while maintaining its position as a leading telecommunications provider. It also encapsulates our understanding of sustainability by identifying crucial areas that require attention and balance. Our materiality assessment and the framework’s focus areas guide our entire reporting process, highlighting and strengthening values that both Vodafone Qatar and our stakeholders can endorse and support.

The sustainability framework is built upon three fundamental pillars: digital enrichment, human prosperity, and safeguarding the planet which collectively represent the company's multifaceted approach to sustainability that aligns with our company's mission and values and with the material topics identified in our materiality assessment as most important to our business and our stakeholders:

In 2024, we refreshed this assessment to better reflect stakeholder expectations, national sustainability goals, and global ESG trends. This process involved benchmarking against peers, consulting ESG rating agencies, and aligning with the Third Qatar National Development Strategy (2024-2030).
