Creating employment opportunities
We believe that an inclusive culture that values diversity of thought and different ways of working results in all employees being more engaged, motivated and productive. We are proud to work with CareerTrackers, developing opportunities to host Indigenous interns.
Supplying Low Aromatic Fuel (LAF)
In partnership with the Federal Government’s National Indigenous Australians Agency, Viva Energy is proud to manufacture and supply Low Aromatic Fuel (LAF) to northern Australia. Research shows that the introduction of LAF has resulted in a 95.2% reduction in petrol sniffing among communities surveyed since 2007.
