Integrity is core to who we and how we act at Vodafone. Recognising that digitisation can be disruptive and pose new challenges, we want to be a trusted partner to customers, employees, suppliers and the communities we serve in the digital society. We protect their data, ensure that services are delivered securely and responsibly, and provide guidance on how to navigate new technology. We respect human rights across all our operations, and proactively manage risks in our supply chain. We continue to foster a diverse and inclusive global workforce that reflects the customers and societies we serve. We behave responsibly and transparently and always strive to uphold the highest industry standards. People We report the average headcount in our direct operations for the financial year. This is calculated using monthly headcount information which is averaged for the year and includes both employees and contractors. Employees are individuals holding a permanent or fixed term employment contract with Vodafone and paid via company payroll. Contractors include: – Individuals that provide a service for a fixed period of time and are employed by a company or agency that contracts with Vodafone for the provision of the service; and – Temporary workers who are supervised by Vodafone employees, not paid via company payroll but are employed and paid via an agency.
All headcount figures exclude Associates and Joint Ventures and include any acquisitions or disposals in the year pro-rated from or to the date of the transaction. Contract type, employee turnover and footprint disclosures are based solely on employees average headcount and excludes contractors.
