“Digitalisation is the key to reducing energy consumption, using natural resources more effectively, promoting efficiency and creating a circular economy – commented Nick Read, CEO of Vodafone – By investing in connectivity and collaborating with other operators in the sector and with policy makers, we can start a better reconstruction, for Europe and its citizens. In July of last year, we pledged to help our business customers reduce their emissions by 350 million tonnes by 2030.
