Vodafone has built credible near-term climate targets validated by SBTi and achieved major operational emissions cuts (84% below FY20). Its Scope 3 reporting is granular but inconsistent—declining in FY25 partly through asset sales, not decarbonisation. Nature disclosure remains skeletal; trade association climate alignment is unreviewed.
