Media Emissions Reductions

Vodafone Group has made significant strides in waste management and sustainability by reducing Scope 3 emissions in its media and advertising activities. Through its Sustainable Media Programme, launched in 2022, Vodafone has cut emissions by 34% across various channels, from digital billboards to traditional TV. These efforts align with the company’s broader goals to halve value chain emissions by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2040.

Vodafone optimized its media strategies to reduce environmental impact by analyzing the energy intensities of different advertising platforms. Innovations include targeting audience-specific ads, minimizing data-heavy files, and partnering with eco-conscious suppliers. Real-time carbon dashboards allow continuous monitoring, ensuring measurable progress and transparency across operations.

Vodafone’s initiatives position the company as a leader in sustainable advertising and provide a roadmap for the industry. Its Climate Transition Plan underscores its commitment to transitioning to a low-carbon economy, setting benchmarks for sustainability and collaboration.
