Social responsibility

Our civic engagement

VEGA takes responsibility for people wherever we operate as a company – for our employees, their families, our business partners as well as the communities we are a part of.

At VEGA, social responsibility means creating sustainable value through respectful collaboration, fair partnerships and long-term commitment across all areas of the business.

Guided by our values and underpinned by our Code of Conduct, we strive to create an inclusive, supportive and inspiring work environment, while at the same time making a positive contribution to regional and societal development.

Corporate culture and values

A key component of VEGA’s social responsibility is the continuous development of our corporate culture. With the “HOME OF VALUES” initiative, we launched a global cultural development process designed to establish a clear framework and a shared understanding of our corporate values across all of our business locations.

The initiative was launched by a team led by our CEO, Isabel Grieshaber.

The goal of HOME OF VALUES is to embed the VEGA culture worldwide, to strengthen the sense of belonging within the company and to continuously develop our values in line with the company’s growth.

Learning and growth

“Continuous learning is a cornerstone of VEGA’s corporate philosophy. We sponsor the professional and personal development of our employees and promote a culture of lifelong learning.”

Onboarding and integration

We offer structured onboarding programmes, performance appraisal processes, leadership development initiatives and a wide range of opportunities for further education.

Our global learning platform gives employees worldwide access to numerous topics related to professional and personal development.

Targeted workshops and knowledge-sharing formats promote cross-departmental and cross-regional collaboration.

Supporting young talent

At its headquarters, VEGA offers apprenticeships in 15 different trades as well as dual study programmes.

We currently employ 87 apprentices and dual-study students, with a retention rate of 98%.

Besides that, selected subsidiaries carry out regional initiatives. For example, VEGA Americas supports the education of employees’ children through a scholarship programme for university studies or vocational training.

Employee well-being and work-life balance

VEGA actively supports its employees in achieving a balance between their professional and their private lives.

Modern, attractive work environments around the world further contribute to employee satisfaction. Many locations feature well-designed office concepts that include relaxation areas, leisure facilities such as table tennis and staff canteens that serve freshly prepared meals.

Flexible working hours, part-time arrangements and remote work are – depending on the role and regional circumstances – possible for many positions, being based on a culture of mutual trust.
 

Health, safety and well-being are also top priorities for us. At VEGA headquarters, the Workplace Health Management (WHM) programme is coordinated by in-house specialists who organise preventative health programmes, courses and lectures. The offerings include:

  • ergonomic workspaces
  • on-site massages and physiotherapy
  • health checks
  • blood donation drives
  • company bike leasing
  • subsidised public transport tickets.
 
At the VEGA campus in Mason, Ohio (USA), staff have access to an in-house health centre and gym, as well as fitness and walking trails. Other offerings include biometric screenings, comprehensive health services and monthly wellness activities.

Community and social engagement

In the areas where we operate, we at VEGA actively support regional clubs, organisations and charitable institutions through targeted financial contributions, long-term partnerships as well as personal community engagement.

Employer responsibility and employee development

Creating and safeguarding jobs is a key part of VEGA’s social responsibility.
As a company, we are committed to long-term employment relationships and continuously invest in the development of our staff.


Diversity, inclusion and equal opportunity

VEGA fosters a culture of respect and equal opportunity at all of its locations.
Our goal is to create a healthy, safe and diversified work environment with fair remuneration structures and transparent processes.

We strive to contribute to greater sustainability through continuous further development of our sensors as well as responsible business practices. Furthermore, through our business activities we commit ourselves to strengthening regional economic structures and fulfilling our social responsibilities.
