Group at a Glance
The Group has a significant global presence in 25 countries through equity interests and a further 42 countries through partner market arrangements. The Group is organised in two geographic regions – Europe and EMAPA – with the objective of aligning operations with the Group’s strategy and focusing the Group’s businesses according to different market and customer requirements.
Europe
The Group’s strategy is to drive additional usage and revenue from core mobile voice and messaging services, which represents around 80% of revenue in Europe today, and to reduce its cost base.
EMAPA
The Group’s focus is to build on its strong record of creating value in emerging markets where average market penetration is relatively low, offering significant customer and revenue growth potential.
Partner Markets
Partner Markets are operations in which the Group has entered into a partnership agreement with a local mobile operator, enabling a range of Vodafone’s global products and services to be marketed in that operator’s territory. Under the terms of these partner market agreements, the Group and its partners cooperate in the development and marketing of certain services, often under dual brand logos
