At the heart of our business are our core values
of family culture, sustainability, and innovation.
Our company has been built on a foundation that values the connection we have with our people and surrounding communities. We believe that for the business to thrive, as an organisation we need to ensure the people and communities that surround us are also thriving. This belief is the driving force behind our social impact agenda and initiatives, which have been developed through our charity, the Zenises Foundation. We are in business for one single purpose - to fuel and serve the important work of the Zenises Foundation.
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.
Haarjeev Kandhari,
Vaculug Chairman
Our Vaculug family culture is key to our company’s longstanding success. The health and well-being of our people is paramount, as seen through the various employee engagement initiatives and HR policies that have been put in place to ensure
a safe and inclusive workplace for all.
This culture of family also extends to the relationships we have fostered with our partners, some of whom we have been in business with for more than six decades.
Strongly linked to our efforts to take care of
our people and communities is our ongoing commitment to being a responsible and sustainable company. Through a sustainable thinking and innovation-driven approach to business, our leadership team is steadfastly focused on realising our company’s vision, which is to make the world more sustainable for the next generation.
As we continue this path of sustainable transformation, it’s become clear that the steps
we took to define our goals was just the beginning of our journey. In many ways it was also the easiest part.
The more difficult part is implementing the strategy we have put in place. And while our goals are ambitious, our approach to reaching those goals can be likened to the well-known proverb which states, “there’s only one way to eat an elephant: one bite at a time.”
#SustainableThinking is at the forefront
of everything that we do. A key example of this is our aim to reach carbon neutrality by 2030.
With every decision and action we take as
an organisation, we are progressing towards achieving the goals that we have set out - one meaningful step at a time. With the support and dedication of our Vaculug family and partners, we have no doubts that we will achieve the goals set out on this journey.
