Acting Ethically

Acting ethically is rooted in our core values of integrity and responsibility, meaning we make the right choices, even when they are difficult. We understand our social, ethical and legal responsibilities and aim to go beyond compliance, adhering to both the spirit and letter of the law.

We take pride in the high standards that we set for all Vita employees, embedding a culture of accountability and transparency across the organisation. We actively monitor the ever-evolving business landscape to ensure that Vita remains adaptable and ahead of compliance and regulatory changes, safeguarding our commitments to excellence and integrity.

Ethical Practices

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for breaches of anti-bribery, corruption and competition policies. We have zero reported cases of child labour, human trafficking or modern slavery and have received no sanctions against the organisation.

Our code of business conduct sets out our standard in relation to corporate responsibility and expectations of employee behaviour. All relevant employees are also trained on a wide-range of compliance-related matters annually, including our code of conduct, information security anti-bribery and corruption and competition law. Face-to-face training also takes place every two years by our Group legal team.

Vita have several core policies and processes that are applicable to and implemented across all Group sites and businesses. During 2024, several new policies, documents and processes were implemented such as our refreshed Supplier Code of Conduct. Risk assessments relating to topics surrounding key business ethics are also maintained and managed for all sites. The review and creation of policies and procedures helps ensure that our sustainability strategy continues to progress and that we remain aligned to best practice.

Regulatory Alignment

We have undertaken our first double materiality assessment (DMA) aligned with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), marking a significant step towards CSRD compliance. This assessment was not just a regulatory requirement but a key exercise to maximise our strategic value. It enabled us to identify impacts, risks and opportunities during a key period of transformation of internal roles and responsibilities.

As our commitment to best practices remains unwavering, we engaged an external auditor for a pre-assurance process. To ensure the DMA remains relevant and reflective of the Group’s transformative changes, we have undertaken a gap analysis to identify key gaps in policies, processes and data collection and established processes for continuous improvement, regularly reviewing and updating the DMA.

Further information about our DMA can be found in the report.
