Our value to society

VAT not only creates jobs, provides training, and supports economic growth but it is also committed to making a meaningful difference in the communities it serves. Through its VATcares program, the company focuses on strengthening STEM education and delivering essential humanitarian aid worldwide. These efforts aim to empower people, support sustainable development, and create positive social impact that reaches well beyond its business activities.

An inclusive workplace

For VAT, diversity means bringing together people from different generations, cultures, genders, skills, and perspectives. By actively nurturing diverse talent, the company gains broader insights and a real competitive advantage. VAT is committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone has equal opportunities to grow and realize their potential.

In 2023 eleVATe Equity started as a grassroot movement to promote gender equity in the company and is now directly supported by our CEO. It provides a platform to network, inspire and support each other.

Prioritizing health, safety, and wellbeing

VAT is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing, and safety of its employees by creating a support work environment that promotes overall good health. The company’s goal is for every employee to be safe and well at work, free from accidents, injuries, and work-related illnesses. VAT also actively involves employees in shaping and improving its occupational health and safety practices to ensure they remain effective and meaningful.

Protecting human rights

VAT is dedicated to respecting and protecting the dignity and human rights of all people, guided by the international bill of human rights and global standards. We work to identify and address any potential human rights risks, ensuring issues like child labor, forced labor, or human trafficking have no place in our operations. In 2024, VAT strengthened its commitment by becoming an affiliate member of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), building on years of applying its Code of Conduct. This step reinforces our efforts to maintain safe and fair working conditions, reduce environmental impacts, and ensure our suppliers uphold the same standards.
