Our responsibility to our employees, the communities surrounding us and the environment we work in is an integral part of the way we operate. - Where possible RVH works closely with small holder farmers in its neighbourhood in a commercially sustainable way, both through improving production methods and purchasing their products. This relationship is mutually beneficial and leads to broad based improvement of the standard of living of our surrounding communities.
- Our approach has been recognised through certifications such as Fairtrade. Where applicable the resulting premiums get used for the improvement of education, medical and welfare facilities for our labour force and the communities concerned.
- RVH is in the process of setting up a company wide programme fighting AIDS and Malaria. The programme will not only focus on the prevention of the spread of HIV / Aids, but also on the enabling of the treatment of those affected.
- RVH is a long term investor in land based assets in Africa and, as such, is committed to the conservation of the land it owns, as well as the surrounding areas, in a sustainable way.
