In August 2020 we officially joined the United Nations Global Compact program supporting the Ten Principles in the areas of Human Rights, Labor, Environment and Anti-corruption. By doing so we committed to implementing these principles, incorporating them as part of Vista’s business strategy, culture and day-to-day operations.
In 2015 the United Nations General Assembly adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that set the global agenda for equitable, socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable economic development to achieve worldwide prosperity by 2030. We have identified the goals on which we can have the greatest impact, upheld by initiatives to achieve short-term targets as well as forward-looking sustainable development programs.
We conduct a materiality assessment to identify the most relevant ESG topics for Vista in the hydrocarbon industry. This includes mapping key sector topics and engaging stakeholders.
Based on their input, we defined 12 material topics, now integrated into Vista’s ESG Framework and linked to our performance, targets, and contribution to the UN SDGs.
