Vodafone Group's ESG Strategy and the Digital Divide with Bobbie Mellor
Bobbie leads Vodafone Group’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) functions globally, with responsibility for managing the ESG strategies and overseeing their delivery. She also leads Vodafone’s ESG advocacy, working closely with Policy and Public Affairs colleagues on events, partnerships, and political engagement.

Join us to listen to an overview of Vodafone’s current ESG strategies. Particular focus will be given to the Digital Divide – the inequitable access to digital technology that is prevalent in developing countries – and she will discuss the transformational power of personal smartphone ownership in this context.

Bobbie will then lead an interactive workshop focusing on some of the most pressing environmental challenges facing the mobile phone industry. Attendees will collaboratively discuss the challenges, working together to consider strategies to alleviate these issues.

The session will be followed by the opportunity to network over light refreshments.
