Thank you for bringing the allegations regarding human rights abuses at Pegatron to our attention.

Pegatron is not a direct supplier to Vodafone, however it does manufacture products for one of our suppliers. At Vodafone, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of human rights across our supply chain. We have stringent procurement policies in place, including our Code of Ethical Purchasing, Health & Safety standards, Business Principles, and Quality Assurance protocols. These policies are agreed upon by our suppliers and are verified through regular audits to ensure compliance.

However, we will investigate the claims made and take appropriate actions to ensure that our suppliers adhere to our strict policies and standards. [...]
