People have always been at the heart of the SHV story, a fact reflected in our purpose: “Courage to care for generations to come”.
Our values, promote ongoing, inclusive and sustainable economic growth; full and productive employment; and decent work for all. We aim to develop a highly engaged workforce that reflects the makeup of the societies in which we operate, believing that diverse and inclusive teams better understand and reflect customers and stakeholders; enhance business performance; and work more creatively and innovatively.
Equal opportunities
Aiming to build and develop a future proof and diverse inclusive workforce.
By 2030, we aim to see women occupy a minimum of 30% of senior leadership positions, and senior management teams to comprise at least two different nationalities. This target will be continuously reviewed following external developments.
Striving for full and productive employment and decent work for all can go beyond Diversity and Inclusion. It may involve developing and improving HR processes to help create a safe and respectful workplace. SHV Groups aim to support this approach where possible, and Care for People is considered an important focus area.
Good work conditions
To strive to create safe and healthy working conditions.
Community Development
To drive sustainable development around us through education and knowledge.
Corporate Social Responsibility
We work towards helping shape the future by driving sustainable development around us through education and knowledge, including supporting the sustainable and positive development of the society in which we work and live. To offer education is to make a long-term investment in people and, ultimately, in communities.
Through our internal campaign “Start from the Heart” we commit to investing in people through education.
With a presence in so many countries all over the world, our Groups are uniquely positioned to understand the challenges and needs of their local communities and are encouraged to initiate and support local projects. By supporting educational programmes, we enable people to support themselves.
