At VIDA bioenergy, we think about sustainability from different angles.
To us, sustainability means transforming our business to facilitate and accelerate the energy transition. It means investing in solutions at our facilities to reduce our environmental impact . And it also means ensuring our company is built to last – with healthy growth, sound governance, and safe and fair working conditions across our operations.
Access to energy is critical for people and economies to thrive. Safely and securely delivering energy has been at the core of our business since the very beginning. We are proud to contribute towards realising the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 7, ‘Access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all’.
Protecting people and the environment is an essential element of running a sustainable, responsible business. We take safety and security extremely seriously at all our locations, and we are vigilant about potential threats to our operations.
Accountability for sustainability rests at the highest levels of VIDA bioenergy Our leadership team continually monitors our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) impact, and we have a dedicated ESG Committee that sets targets, ensures appropriate actions are taken, and tracks our progress towards achieving our sustainability goals.
We facilitate responsible behaviour across our business with robust policies and comprehensive training – including our 8 golden compliance rules. A comprehensive compliance training programme, developed in partnership with our terminals, offers basic training for all employees and is enhanced by more specialised and relevant modules aimed at different roles within the organisation. In 2023, more than half of employees received compliance training.
