To efficiently serve our customers, to provide returns to our stakeholders and to improve the lives of the people in the communities and countries in which we operate
PEOPLE – People are at the centre of our operations. Our staff are our most valued asset. Our customers are central to why we are in business. The people in the communities where we operate are a collective prized asset that must not be harmed but positively impacted by our operations and social initiatives.
INTEGRITY – To us, everything rises and falls on integrity. Our operations must be based on a philosophy of honesty. Every encounter with any aspect of our business must leave the other party confident of receiving reliable and just return for their commitments. This philosophy also, crucially, extends to our responsibility to the state.
INCLUSION – We believe in diversity and equal opportunity. Everyone in society deserves an opportunity to showcase their God-given abilities. We are committed to gender equality, disability rights, and bridging opportunity gaps for all of society’s disadvantaged. We are intentional about this, creating and implementing policies that advance this value.
EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE – For us, excellence is non-negotiable. All our customers must experience excellence at whatever level they relate with us. Excellence in built into the Harvest Energy DNA.
SUSTAINABILITY – Our sustainability commitment is three-pronged, reflecting our major aspirations. They are: Economic Sustainability, Social Sustainability; Environmental Sustainability. For us, ensuring a balance between profit, people and environment is good business.
Our second-to-none integrated infrastructure and assets aspirations have led to the conclusion of plans and commencement of implementation towards the construction of over 40 multi-product, multi-service retail stations in Zambia alone, construction of a one-stop-shop Energy Village housing some of the largest tank farms in the region (a first in many respects), acquisition of a fleet of over 200 trucks and sea vessels, and equipping of a high-level central control centre where the fleet of trucks and other Harvest assets are tracked and coordinated. With our strategic investments, not only is our last mile retail business on sure footing, but our shipping, haulage/distribution and tank farm storage facilities as well.
We are committed to strengthening and expanding our strong partnerships, leveraging on valuable relationships to impact consumers, the economy and society at large. As a company, we are closely guided, not just by our responsibility to our shareholders and customers, but to the environment and to society. Thus, our HSE commitment is deep, undergirding a sustainability strategy that is in tune with global best practices. Our commitment to contributing to the growth of society apart from our economic activities, is well captured in our ‘Beyond Commerce’ strategy which seeks to uplift society’s underserved through impactful social initiatives. Harvest Foundation, our sister non-profit, is the central vehicle for operationalizing our ‘Beyond Commerce’ strategy.
