Corporate Responsibility

Vodafone is world-class, not only in mobile communications, but also in terms of Corporate Responsibility (CR). According to an opinion poll organized by AccountAbility in 2006, Vodafone Group was voted the number one Company for CR. It’s confirmed on a daily basis by Vodafone CZ, too.

Corporate responsibility is based on fair business, consideration of the environment and responsibility towards the people and communities around us. How can you tell a company that takes corporate responsibility seriously? Very easily:

1. It runs its business not only in accordance with law, but also aims for, on a voluntary basis, higher standards.
2. It’s considerate of the environment, and tries to minimize its impact on it.
3. It’s friendly to people, partners, as well as the wider community; it maintains a dialogue with them and supports beneficial projects and non-profit activities.

If the company meets all the above and you can say the company is “a good neighbour”, this company probably aware of its corporate responsibility.

Vodafone Group is serious about corporate responsibility; so much so it was stipulated as one of its six strategic objectives. Besides, one of the basic values of Vodafone CZ includes “Decide with the Heart”. Corporate responsibility helps us focus not only on our business and profits, but also on our relationship to the environment, to people and the communities around us, as well as to our employees who are the very basis of any company.
