At VOGT, we understand that sustainability is not an accessory, but a cross-cutting commitment that guides our strategy and operations. We are moving towards a development model that combines economic growth, respect for the environment, people's well-being, and integrity in management.
Our commitment is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in the areas of clean water and sanitation (SDG 6), industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9), responsible production and consumption (SDG 12) and climate action (SDG 13). We are also guided by international frameworks such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the OECD Guidelines, which guide our ethical, social, and environmental conduct.
We recognize climate change as one of the greatest global challenges and work actively to reduce our environmental footprint, optimize resource use, and contribute to a more resilient and low-carbon industry. We integrate sustainable practices into our value chain as much as possible, promoting innovative, safe, and efficient pumping solutions for our customers.
We foster a culture of integrity based on ethics, transparency, and regulatory compliance, with secure reporting mechanisms and a willingness to engage in dialogue with our stakeholders. With a forward-looking and collaborative approach, we seek to generate a positive impact in the territories where we operate and contribute to more inclusive and sustainable development.

Board of Directors: We guarantee clear and responsible management, providing timely financial and non-financial information to enable appropriate strategic decision-making.
Our strategy
Our sustainability strategy is based on four pillars that enable us to transform our commitment into concrete actions:
• Social Commitment: Our company is, above all, a place where people grow, collaborate, and generate value. We care about the well-being, development, and safety of our employees, promoting a fair, safe, and challenging work environment. In addition, we want to contribute to the communities where we operate, so we seek to build relationships of trust and contribute to local development by promoting initiatives that improve education, quality of life, and opportunities.
• Environmental Responsibility: Our commitment to the planet translates into concrete actions to minimize our environmental footprint. We work to reduce GHG emissions, use energy efficiently, optimize water consumption, and manage waste responsibly. We believe that engineering can be a driver of change toward a more sustainable future, which is why we incorporate innovative practices that allow us to operate efficiently and responsibly.
• Sustainable Solutions: We believe that sustainability is also innovation. We focus on developing solutions that add value for our customers while minimizing environmental impact and enhancing efficiency in their operations. Through research and development, we seek new technologies and methodologies that allow us to move toward more sustainable engineering, ensuring quality and satisfaction for those who trust us.
• Corporate Integrity: Sustainability is not only in what we do, but also in how we do it. Our management is based on principles of ethics, compliance, transparency, and good corporate governance practices. We believe in the power of a strong organizational culture, aligned with our purpose and values, to ensure that every decision and action reflects our commitment to integrity and excellence.
Our commitment to sustainability is also expressed through strong governance and the implementation of internal guidelines that consolidate good practices in environmental, social, and compliance matters. These management frameworks allow our operations and strategic decisions to be developed with a long-term view, aligned with ethics, transparency, and the creation of sustainable value.
