Partners in ESG
Integrating environmental, social and governance principles into our services is crucial for sustainable growth, community wellbeing and transparency. We do more than comply with regulations: we build trust with our customers and partners.
Sustaining our environment
Vital prioritises the effects of its activities, services and products on the environment. We first identify, predict and evaluate actual and potential environmental impacts, then explore alternatives within the applicable legislative framework. We actively promote environmental awareness among employees and communities, manage both general and hazardous waste, and use energy and water efficiently.
We place emphasis on lowering carbon emissions in the transport industry, partnering with suppliers including MAN Trucks on Euro 4 and Euro 5 engines and TGS EfficientLine vehicles.
Social responsibility
We strive to be actively involved in the needs of the communities where we do business and to contribute to their social and economic development. Our socio-economic initiatives reflect our value of a caring culture and adding sustainable value to our communities.

Governance
Vital upholds the highest standards of ethical business conduct and corporate governance, built into our quality procedures and company culture and supported by our Social and Ethics Committee, which meets twice a year.
Building blocks for 682 ECD centres
With the Do More Foundation, we collected and distributed 1 800 DUPLO play boxes to 682 early childhood development centres across South Africa, for play-based learning by 33 492 young children.
This holistic approach builds a resilient business that benefits the environment, supports local communities and upholds high governance standards, paving the way for a sustainable future in the transport sector.
