VALUES
Everything we do at Vaculug is built around three core foundational values:
• A FAMILY culture.
• A RESPONSIBLE approach to business. • A past and future driven by INNOVATION.
A FAMILY culture
Our company has been built on a foundation that values the connection we have to our surrounding communities. Our community focused approach to business also applies to our own organisation and the culture we have created at Vaculug.
We believe the health and well-being of our employees is paramount. We have clear HR policies in place that set out to provide a safe and inclusive workplace for all. Additionally, through various employee engagement initiatives that we organise throughout the year, including the celebration of key personal and professional milestones, we strive to foster a safe and enjoyable workplace culture and environment for our Vaculug family, every day.
A RESPONSIBLE approach to business
Building a responsible business means respecting the planet and our surrounding communities and creating value with each of our stakeholders.
Our company is committed to fostering a culture that respects our employees, partners, customers, and communities. We are also committed to building a sustainable business that respects the environment.
Working in collaboration with our stakeholders, we are striving to minimise our impact on the planet while at the same time making a positive difference.
A past and future driven by INNOVATION
As a leading retreader, we are committed to continuously improve processes with aim of delivering products at the highest level of quality and safety, for our customers.
R&D initiatives improve and advance our manufacturing processes and products, not only
for our company but for the industry. To ensure we remain on the leading edge of retreading, we are invested in the latest manufacturing technology. We are equally invested in leveraging the most advanced technology and software for our fleet management systems to ensure we deliver optimal service and peace of mind to our customers.
Our approach to embracing innovation and technology is what has built our company and positioned it as the industry-leader that it is today, and it is what will continue to pave the way forward and lead us towards a more sustainable and prosperous future going forward.
