Services Insights About us Our locations Secondary Menu Contact Client portal Careers EN | English Video file ABOUT US Doing the right thing We’re focused on doing the right thing for our colleagues, clients, communities and for the future of our planet. At Vistra one of our key values is to doing the right thing. It’s a value we challenge ourselves to live up to everyday. It’s in how we run our business, how we look after our colleagues, how and what services we provide to clients, and it is embedded in every colleague’s personal performance objectives. Image Vistra has made pledges in 5 key areas: 1. Carbon Reduction 2. Managing the Business Responsibly 3. Diversity, Equality & Inclusion 4. Assisting our Clients with their Sustainability Goals 5. Supporting our Communities 1. Reducing our environmental impact on the world We will take proactive steps, initially focusing on carbon reduction in our operating practices and in the way we work with our suppliers. By 2023 we will: Reduce our business air travel by 20% Reduce our office energy consumption by 40% Reduce our non-recyclable office waste generation by 40% Reduce travel to work carbon emissions by 40% 2. Manage our business responsibly We manage our business and our sustainability commitments responsibly. Sustainability is integrated into our business decision making process. Our sustainability policies and procedures provide transparency into our practices and are developed through regular consultation with stakeholders, including regulators and investors. Importantly, sustainability oversight is not limited to just the ExCo, but also informs discussions with the full Board and its various other business committees on topics ranging from climate risk, to human capital management, to the firm’s broader sustainable finance initiatives. Image 3. To embrace Diversity, Equality and Inclusion throughout our business Our Diversity, Equality and Inclusion framework (DE&I) commits Vistra to: Promoting a fair, inclusive and collaborative work environment for all colleagues Ensuring people decisions are based on merit Leveraging the abilities of our colleagues to serve the needs of our clients, community & business Providing colleagues with career development opportunities Ensuring all colleagues are treated with respect To keep on track with this mission, we regularly seek colleague feedback and views through a range of methods. An inclusive culture recognises that we can’t have a one-size-fits-all approach for where and how people work. Our Remote and Adaptive Working Framework fosters an environment that supports a diverse, flexible and adaptive workforce. Image 4. To assist our clients and suppliers to meet their sustainability goals The Vistra ESG Service roadmap will deliver a series of products and services to help clients meet their evolving ESG obligations and manage their impact on the world.
