Vivo Energy Namibia, the retailer and marketer of Shell-branded fuels and lubricants, recently held its annual Safety Day, reinforcing the importance of Health, Safety, Security, Environment & Quality (HSSEQ) at Vivo Energy.

Safety Day is an opportunity for all employees and contractors at Vivo Energy to refocus on the importance of HSSEQ.

This year’s event - “Competent + Prepared = Safer” - invited colleagues to record examples of visible safety leadership they had experienced across the business. Over 1,200 entries were submitted, across a range of categories including the environment, health, product quality, reputation, safety and security.

HSSEQ at heart

The leading examples of safety improvement in each of these categories have been showcased and shared across to Group, to encourage replication of this best practice.

Commenting on Safety Day, Edward Walugembe, Vivo Energy Namibia Managing Director said that, “safety is integral to our business and Vivo Energy Namibia’s long-term success in Namibia. I am delighted to report we have continued to perform well against all of our key HSSEQ indicators this year.”

“Our ultimate ambition is to achieve a world-class safety culture, where HSSEQ is fully integrated into the ways of working for all parties at Vivo Energy. Whilst safety is embedded across the company, our annual Safety Day provides a moment for all our teams to ensure we are doing everything we can to achieve our aim of ‘Goal Zero’ – no harm to people and minimising our impact on the environment,” he further added.

Vivo Energy Namibia continues to work hard to achieve its HSSEQ goals in order to make continued progress towards its vision of becoming Africa’s most respected energy business.
