Our core values of growth, entrepreneurship, excellence, trust and sustainability not only encompass our business philosophy, but also underline our relationships with all our stakeholders, shape the culture of our company and guide us in our actions and decisions.
Integral to our business philosophy
Sustainability is integral to our business philosophy. We see the key drivers of our approach as being: proactive engagement with our stakeholders; attracting and retaining the best talent; our provision of a safe and healthy working environment; our focus on using environmentally friendly technologies in all of our businesses and our drive to conserve natural resources.
Conservation of natural resources
This is a fundamental aspect of everything we do. We have set ambitious targets at each of our businesses to use less resources. Our water and energy conservation performance has been promising and has exceeded our targets in some instances. This area will continue to be an area of focus in the coming years.
Our local communities
We believe we have a responsibility to engage with the communities in which we operate and to foster their social and economic development. These principles are embedded across the organisation and are a key element of our employee training, development and performance at all levels.
Our people
Our people are our key asset and drive our overall performance. Our vision is to build a flexible, agile and flat organisation with world-class capabilities and a high-performance culture. Respect for the individual, valuing diversity, fostering entrepreneurship, ensuring an enabling environment and developing a “can do” attitude is a way of life at Vedanta.
Health and safety
Vedanta is committed to achieving best practice in health and safety at all of our sites. Our systems are well established and are regularly reviewed and monitored taking into account our own experiences and industry best practice. Knowledge-sharing around Vedanta’s companies plays an important part in this process.
