Sustainability

Stakeholders such as our customers, government and non-government agencies, academia, and investors want to know if the company is performing in a sustainable manner. In addition to sustainability our own staff members, senior management and employees who interact regularly with these stakeholder groups are asked to answer some of their most commonly asked questions pertaining to our company's social progress (e.g., labor practices, employee health and safety, community support), environmental protection and resource conservation efforts (e.g., water use, waste management and recycling, greenhouse gas emissions), and economic growth (e.g., supply chain engagement, direct and indirect economic value generated).

The 1990 Farm Bill defined Sustainable Agriculture as "an integrated system of plant and animal production practices having a site-specific application that will, over the long term: satisfy human food and fiber needs; enhance environmental quality and the natural resource base upon which the agriculture economy depends; make the most use of nonrenewable resources and on-farm resources, and integrate, where appropriate, natural biological cycles and controls; sustain the economic viability of farm operations; and enhance the quality of life for farmers and ranchers, and society as a whole."

We at Vita-Pakt hold with the utmost respect our responsibilities for land stewardship, and sustainable processing and farming as we strive to support a sustainable world.
