Vantage partners UNESCO to
support financial literacy worldwide.
In an effort to leave a positive mark on
our planet, here's what Vantage is
doing on our ESG journey.
Vantage is so much more than a broker, and our vision - so much bigger than trading. There is an immeasurable social and economic impact from any business operation, and we recognise our potential to make a positive change.
Building a business cannot be about profit at all cost. Instead, we desire for the betterment of all. We believe we can elevate one and all together, building up our communities and helping our planet, so everyone is better off than they were before.
That is why we support Vantage Foundation, an independent non-profit organization committed to raising awareness of often-unseen disadvantages which limit social mobility. Visit www.vantage.foundation to learn more about their work around the world.
Sustainability is at the core of our business. We strive to be part of the solution to some of the world's most urgent problems like inequality, poverty, and climate change.
We value transparency, accountability, and integrity. We strive for complete transparency in our disclosures, and maintain an open feedback system between team members and management.
With our global footprint, diversity is the secret ingredient of our success, and with that, we've built a corporate culture of acceptance, inclusion, and celebration of every individual.
Sustainability is also empowering and liberating for the communities around us. We desire to empower those who are less fortunate, and help to lift them out of poverty.
All of this is built into our code of conduct, where our team members understand and appreciate the importance of ESG on our business, and live it out in our daily operations.
As an online-based business, we operate in a low harmful emissions business. But there is so much more we want to do.
We're actively conserving energy in our operations, and looking at ways to reduce them even further across the board, including incentives for innovative energy conservation ideas.
We're reducing our waste through waste sorting and recycling, encouraging BYO to reduce single use plastics and cutlery among our team members, and seeking long term reusable solutions.
We're reducing our paper use, leveraging on the benefits of digital solutions and cloud computing for our collaboration and presentation needs.
These small actions will add up to a much bigger impact, and create ripple effects around us, as our team members themselves become ambassadors for change.
Every business decision we make and every step of our ESG journey, is influenced and informed by the impact we know it will have on the people both inside and outside of our company: our employees and their families, our customers and suppliers, even our communities.
We envision an equitable world where everyone is able to reach their full potential, regardless of their individual circumstances, and aspire to be part of the solution.
We continue to harness cutting edge technology to innovate and improve our existing products and platforms to reduce inequality of access to education.
With our enhanced free online trading school, we aim to help more to learn about trading, manage their risk, and increase their chances of gaining financial independence through trading.
Strong corporate governance forms the backbone of our entire operation and is embedded within our corporate culture and identity.
We do not tolerate corruption, racism, marginalisation or discrimination of any group.
We are committed to ensuring our business dealings are conducted responsibly, transparently, and ethically.
Our products are designed to deliver the best in execution and performance, while our marketing activities are appropriately targeted to suitable potential clients.
The trust our clients place in us is of utmost importance. All of our clients funds' are placed in segregated trust accounts in the top rated banks of their respective jurisdictions.
At all times, we remain fully compliant and accountable to our regulators in our respective jurisdictions, including ASIC in Australia, FCA in UK, VFSC in Vanuatu, and CIMA in Cayman Islands.
Our business is only as good as our people, and our people are pretty great. We've convened a hugely talented and wonderfully diverse team of people, who bring with them an unstoppable drive and limitless creative energy into the business. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
We welcome people of any age, gender, ethnicity, faith, or physical capability, who hold the same values as we do, and are equally committed to Vantage's vision and success.
Beyond making every team member feel included, we prioritise retention, development, and promotion for our team members, to ensure everyone is empowered to achieve the success they deserve, regardless of their backgrounds.
Outside of work, we provide benefits for employees to seek opportunities for personal development, or just seek self-care. We also believe in keeping a clear distinction between work and personal time and provide flexible working arrangements for team members who need it.
The United Nations established the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future; An urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership.
We endeavour to help end extreme poverty, where people live on less than US$1.25 a day. We want to support organisations that offer social protection systems to the poor and vulnerable, offer access to appropriate financial services (like microfinance), and raise their resilience against economic, social and environmental shocks.
We strive to do our part to help end hunger around the world. We want to aid our local communities to increase food security and reduce malnutrition, and support organisations that can provide safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round to the poor and vulnerable.
We want to assist our local communities in receiving adequate and affordable medical care, medicines and vaccines. By helping local medical services who serve our poor and vulnerable, we hope to be a part of the solution to combat tropical, waterborne and communicable diseases, and reduce maternal and neonatal mortality rates.
We believe quality education is the best equaliser. We are investing in the future of our vulnerable communities, by equipping educators and schools to provide equitable education for both boys and girls, starting from preschool. For youth and adults, we hope to increase enrolment in tertiary education, including technical and vocational schools. This will help improve literacy and numeracy standards in these low-income communities, and empower them with the skills needed for employment.
We want to be part of the solution in ending gender discrimination, and empowering women and girls everywhere. We recognize the value of women's unpaid care and domestic work within a household, and actively provide equal opportunities for employment and leadership within our organisation.
We believe the access to safe, clean drinking water is a basic human right. We support organisations that provide access to safe and affordable drinking water, and good sanitation management. We are also working to restore water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes, and natural recurring sources of clean water.
We take energy efficiency very seriously. Within our operations, we are moving towards the use of energy efficient lighting, equipment, and we request that our third party service providers do the same. We are also partnering with companies that are in the renewable energy space, in moving towards universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services for everyone.
We are constantly upgrading, innovating and reinventing the way we run our business, to provide higher levels of economic productivity, and the creation of higher value-added jobs around the world. We are also looking to beef up our training capacity to ensure more capable and highly motivated young people are equipped to join our ranks. We are the biggest advocated for labour rights, and the provision of safe and secure working environments for all our staff.
As a global company, we build sustainable, reliable, efficient infrastructure, and invest in research and innovation, to ensure affordable and equitable access to information and financial services, especially in developing countries.
As a provider of equitable access to education, information, and financial services in both developed and developing countries, we hope to promote economic inclusion and raise income growth for the poor and vulnerable communities, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status. We ensure equal opportunity for all our employees, with a zero-tolerance stance towards discriminatory policies or practices.
We believe every person has the right to live in an inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable community, and we are partnering with organisations who provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems, and actively work to mitigate the impact of natural disasters for the poor and vulnerable.
At Vantage, sustainable consumption starts from within. We encourage minimal food waste, and responsible use of office supplies. We work with vendors who manage the recycling and repair of our used equipment, and actively sort and recycle our waste.
We are serious about climate change and are taking steps towards that goal. Even our sponsorship of the McLaren Extreme E team in 2022 was a nod to our ambitions. With every race, we are drawing attention to the impact of climate change, and the ways we can help to mitigate its effects. Because every bit counts.
Protecting our oceans helps protect the fragile marine and coastal ecosystems. We are supporting local beach clean-up efforts around the world, to help reduce the debris and pollution in our oceans.
We believe that trees are the vital key to life, and the protection of forests goes towards ensuring the conservation of entire ecosystems, and even preventing the extinction of many endangered species. Our partnership with OneTreePlanted is our step towards reforestation and restoring land affected by desertification, drought and floods.
As a regulated broker across multiple jurisdictions, it is our imperative to operate an effective, accountable and transparent institution, with responsive, inclusive, participatory and representative decision-making at all levels. We too enforce non-discriminatory laws and policies for sustainable development.
We know that we are all as strong as those of us who are the weakest. As a company, we believe in sharing knowledge, expertise, technology and financial resources, with those who are in lack, while we tap on promising initiatives for sustainable development in those countries.
We understand the power of education to improve the livelihoods of those who receive it. Yet, access to education remains unequal at best. At Vantage, we’ve been on the lookout for strong partners where we can maximise our effort to build a more equitable world for everyone, so no one gets left behind.
