Scope and boundaries

The 2006 O2 Corporate Responsibility report covers all O2 plc’s operations in the UK, Ireland, Germany and the Isle of Man. The data contained refers to the 12-month period from 1 April 2005 to 31 March 2006, unless otherwise stated.

In March 2006 O2 plc was de-listed from the London Stock Exchange, following the takeover by Telefónica. In 2007, we will align our corporate responsibility reporting with our new financial reporting period of January to December. For this reason, the financial information and data contained in this year’s report refers only to the ten-month period 1 April 2005 to 31 January 2006.

As part of this change, our next Corporate Responsibility report will cover the calendar year 2006, thus overlapping with some of the information in this current report. It will also include information on additional operations in the Czech Republic and Germany that became part of O2’s operations during 2006 as a result of the Telefónica takeover.
