Principles

Our attitude to business is inspired by commitments to: Transparency and Continuous Improvement.

Key issues

Vector-Logistics faces many challenges. Due to their direct impact on us, we’ve prioritized the following issues that need to be addressed: Climate change, health and safety.

Scope of commitment

This policy will apply to all events hosted by Vector-Logistics and our vendors. This is assumed to include events we host and pay for, including sponsorships. Staff and contractors are expected to uphold objectives under this policy to the fullest extent possible within prevailing budgets. And to inform management of financial and other barriers to achieving goals.

We acknowledge we have limited influence over third parties whose events we may attend but do not organize, such as trade shows where we exhibit. While we cannot control the decisions of these parties, we commit to educate them of our policy and encourage them to align operating practices with policy objectives.

We choose every day in big and small ways how our actions and words build a better quality of life for our employees, clients, event participants and suppliers.
