Exceptions to the reporting scope: – Our joint ventures and associates where we don’t have operational control which are included in our Scope 3 GHG emissions based on our ownership as at 31 March 2025; – Retail stores where we don’t have operational control which are included in our Scope 3 GHG emissions, – M-Pesa customer numbers, which includes 100% of our associate Safaricom in Kenya and Ethiopia. Portfolio changes The inclusion or exclusion of data from subsidiaries, joint ventures or associates that have been acquired or sold, or where there is a change in control or ownership that results in a change in operational control (as defined in the GHG Protocol), is determined by the date that the transaction in question is formally concluded with all approvals received. Where a transaction is concluded in the first half of the financial year our policy is to re-baseline our ESG data to reflect the outcome of the transaction. Where a disposal transaction concludes in the second half of the financial year data will be included until the closure date and a full re-baseline will be performed in the following financial year. The impact of transactions completed in the year ended 31 March 2025 are detailed in the methodology for each metric in this document. The sale of Vodafone Spain completed on 31 May 2024 therefore we have re-baselined our ESG data for all prior periods.
The sale of Vodafone Italy completed on 31 December 2024, and in accordance with the above policy we will re-baseline our ESG data in FY26 with the impact on performance reflected as discontinued operations. All other Group activities are reported as continuing operations. This disaggregation has also been reflected in our ESG reporting across all reporting periods. In a limited number of circumstances, data granularity was not available to disaggregate the information relating to discontinued operations. Where this is the case, it is noted in the ESG Addendum in relevant footnotes to the data. Estimates and Assumptions The reported information on our operations is based on actual performance data for the period. Where actual data is not available, we have used estimates or assumptions based on actual trends. More information on these estimates or assumptions is set out in the reporting methodology sections for each metric. Data This document includes selected ESG data which should be read alongside the full ESG dataset in our ESG Addendum.
