ESG Pillars
-
Environment
Vertex aims to reduce the intensity of our operation’s environmental impact while continually evolving to support our clients’ supply chain objectives. For our environment pillar, intensity is defined based on environmental impact per dollar of service revenue generated. We commit to being data-driven and radically open-minded, using measurement and benchmarking to set bold improvement initiatives and track progress over time. In our role as environmental advisors, we commit to relentlessly execute and innovate, reducing impacts equally through streamlined processes and technological advancement.
-
Social Impact
We commit to provide positive social benefits through the growth of our organization and the provision of our services. We consider our diversity a strength and work to ensure that our activities in local communities provide meaningful and sustainable impact. Partnerships, opportunity creation, and equality of training are the cornerstones of this pillar for Vertex, as we invest in our people, diversity, and impact in the local communities where we live and work. For our social impact pillar, intensity is designed on a per-employee basis.

Governance
We commit to strong ESG governance, completely aligned with our current corporate structure. Strategic decision-making and results are tested, evaluated, and approved by an independent Board of Directors. As a service organization, our governance system will be customer-centered using customer engagement to drive constant evolution and change. Our combination of transparency and the independent nature of the Board will be used to ensure customer-driven change is supporting long-term sustainable and strategic growth.
