This code of conduct (‘Code of Conduct‘) sets out Vopak’s general business principles.

Integrity has been and will be the cornerstone in establishing and maintaining Vopak’s reputation and providing quality services to its customers. We deem Vopak’s reputation an asset, just like the professionalism and passion of its employees, the quality of the installations it operates and the continuous improvement in services it provides.

Vopak’s objective is to preserve continuity of the company by maintaining a strong financial foundation and conducting a long term profitable business. This implies investing for sustainable growth and balancing short and long term interests with due care and respect for its stakeholders including among others customers, employees, shareholders, joint venture partners, neighbours, suppliers as well as the environment.

Vopak adheres to the principle of sustainable business practice, in the sense of conducting its business with respect for individuals, the environment and society as a whole, in combination with a robust and healthy profitability.

We consider it vital that Vopak employees understand and share Vopak’s values (Integrity, Professionalism, Improvement, Ownership, Service, Passion and Agility) and consistently act accordingly when conducting business.

We trust this Code of Conduct provides through a set of policies and guidelines all Vopak employees with an understandable framework they should adhere to in carrying out their responsibilities. We not only want all Vopak employees to comply with the provisions of this code, according to the form of the written policies, but also according to the spirit thereof!

If employees have a concern about what is proper conduct for them or anyone else in a specific situation, they should promptly raise that concern with their superior or the person designated by the Executive Board for this purpose (the Trusted Person, i.e. the Director Corporate Internal Audit in Rotterdam). Any concern so raised shall be promptly and discreetly addressed with due care and respect.

This Code of Conduct reflects the values of our company, and explains how we aim to do business in a responsible and sustainable manner.

We hope you will find this Code of Conduct to meet your expectations and that it will aid you when it needs to.
