Vodafone's reported carbon emissions
Vodafone, a prominent player in the post and telecommunication services industry headquartered in the UK, has made significant commitments to address its carbon emissions. For the reporting year 2025, Vodafone reported total absolute emissions of approximately 9.81 billion kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of approximately 280 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 emissions (market-based) and approximately 7.09 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. The breakdown for Scope 3 includes approximately 1.83 billion kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, and 1.53 billion kg CO2e from investments. Vodafone has set ambitious climate targets. By 2030, the company aims to achieve net-zero emissions from its operations (Scope 1 and 2) and halve its Scope 3 emissions. Further reinforcing its long-term vision, Vodafone is working towards reaching net-zero emissions across its full value chain by 2040. This commitment is underpinned by Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated goals, including a near-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 90% by FY2030 from a FY2020 base year. Additionally, Vodafone aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 50% by FY2030 from the same base year. The company also has a commitment to increase its annual sourcing of renewable electricity to 100% by FY2025. Long-term, Vodafone aims to maintain at least a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from FY2030 through FY2040, and reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2040, all from a FY2020 baseline.
