Energy use Improving energy efficiency continued to be a strategic priority for Vodafone, to control both energy costs and GHG emissions. Energy use by our mobile access network, fixed-line network and technology centres accounted for 94% of our total global energy consumption across all operations. We improve energy efficiency and optimise energy use across our infrastructure assets and estate by modernising our networks, reducing electricity consumption, making improvements in network configuration, consolidating parts of our fixed network and data centre estate, and implementing ISO 50001 certified energy management systems across our markets.
