We insist on the right of our employees and partners to express their opinions openly and on their duty to report irregularities and other relevant information without fear of reprisal.

Reliability

We stand by agreements made and personally ensure that the needs of our customers, partners and employees are met. Safety is the basis of our actions - we do not make any compromises here. Our products and services are subject to the highest security requirements and require excellent quality standards in all areas and processes.

COMPLIANCE

If something goes wrong, it is vital to address the issue. We encourage our employees, though also our business partners, to point out potential shortcomings within the company.

SUSTAINABILITY ALL DOWN THE LINE

At the VIVATIS Group, the responsible use of resources and a comprehensive and sustainable protection of the environment are central components of our corporate culture. We use local ingredients as much as possible. In our operations, we focus on modern production plants and procedures along with resource-saving and energy-efficient processes. All of the electricity used by VIVATIS comes from renewable sources. Throughout the logistics chain, VIVATIS promotes CO2 savings with its external partners and for its own vehicle fleet. Waste-heat recovery, water treatment, and energy-efficient lighting technologies are standard at all group facilities. Since the end of 2018, for example, the rendering plants in Upper Austria and Styria have been making a special contribution to environmental and climate protection: The waste heat from their production process is fed into the local district heating grids.

We’re also dedicated to making the products themselves regional, organic, and sustainable.
