Vodafone Limited has a requirement to manage the replacement and upgrading of its networks with maximum efficiency both financially and environmentally. Shields Environmental has enabled this for Vodafone since 1998. Shields provides a complete outsourced solution that unlocks maximum residual value from our surplus assets and ensures equipment that cannot be re-used is securely recycled. We have also been able to purchase some competitively priced spares from Shields. In addition to the financial benefits, their audit trail and reporting proves that we meet our corporate responsibility targets and ensures that we are ready for forthcoming legislation. Shields Environmental are very proactive in developing and investing in global capability and have proven to be an ideal retired asset management supplier-partner. We look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.

We know that the equipment we use in our network is often suitable for re-use and recycling, and we have signed a new contract with Shields Environmental to help us improve our performance as we roll-out our 3G network.
