Corporate Social
Responsibility

We always strive to do the right thing.

At Vitalograph, we always conduct our business with honesty and integrity.

We believe it is important to act responsibly and ethically with our stakeholders and with regard to the environment we operate in. Our business operations are conducted daily with honesty and integrity. The principles and practices of responsible behaviour are embedded into our policies, systems and processes.

Our stakeholders include our shareholders, staff, business partners, customers, suppliers, neighbours and the wider community.

Together with our staff, we believe in taking action to benefit both our local and the wider community. Corporate social responsibility carries beyond our work day and out into the global community.

We will always strive to do the right thing.

Our Principles

 

The Environment

We take our environmental responsibilities seriously and want to minimise our impact on the planet.

Location is important. We believe that businesses should operate where people live, not in clusters at remote town business parks or adding to crowded city centres. Local employment is particularly important in country areas where there is little public transport.

We have reviewed our manufacturing processes to reduce our carbon footprint, for example our Eco BVFs are manufactured with less plastic for a reduced environmental impact. Where possible, our products and packaging are made from recycled or recyclable and/or biodegradable materials. We minimise the amount of packaging used for our products and encourage customers to reuse or recycle our packaging.

In Business

Health & Safety

We recognise our duty of care for our stakeholders and conform to our legal requirements with regard to their health and safety.

Good customer relationships and service

All feedback and compliments that we receive from our stakeholders are acknowledged and acted upon where appropriate.

Supply chain management and ethical procurement

We respect our suppliers, dealers and distributors. We seek to achieve long-term relationships to realize mutual growth based on mutual trust.

Quality Assurance

Our robust Quality Management Systems ensure that we continuously monitor and improve efficiency and meet our regulatory requirements.

Our People

We respect our employees and believe that the success of our business is led by each individual’s creativity and good teamwork.

Our employees are at the heart of our business and we the commitment of each and every person within our organization.
