Ghana: Vivo Energy launches ‘Retailer Sustainability Programme’ on COVID-19

The Shell licensee will implement human-centred projects in communities where it operates.

Vivo Energy Ghana, the Shell licensee, in partnership with its retailers has launched a novel sustainable initiative dubbed the ‘Retailer Sustainability Programme’ to implement human-centred projects in communities where it operates, with a focus on COVID-19 prevention.

The Retailer Sustainability Programme forms part of Vivo Energy Ghana’s comprehensive programme on COVID-19 prevention being rolled-out to complement the government’s efforts in combating the virus from Ghana and ensuring the decentralization of support to local communities.

“It is for this reason that we partnered with our Shell retailers to reach out to communities to help fight the virus. The programme has led to the implementation of several COVID-19 prevention initiatives in various regions across the country and I want to express my profound gratitude to our distinguished retailers for responding positively to our call,” said Ben Hassan Ouattara, Managing Director of Vivo Energy Ghana.

Some interventions include the donation of PPEs such as gloves, nose masks, goggles, coveralls, hand washing facilities, hand sanitizers, detergents, thermometers and the construction of water tanks for underserved communities to encourage regular hand washing.
