Stakeholder engagement Stakeholder Engagement
Engaging regularly with our stakeholders is fundamental to the way we do business. Regular engagement ensures we operate in a balanced and responsible way, in both the short and longer term. We are committed to maintaining good communications and building positive relationships with all of our stakeholders, as we see this as essential to strengthening our sustainable business. Vodafone is required to provide information on how the Directors have performed their duty under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 to promote the success of Vodafone, and these matters are covered throughout this Annual Report and summarised in the table to the right. This includes how those matters and the interests of Vodafone’s key stakeholders have been taken into account by the Directors. We have also summarised our interactions with key stakeholders during the year in this section. The engagement mechanisms directly involving the Directors are indicated below with a symbol.
