Vivo Energy at a glance
We are Vivo Energy, the company that distributes and markets the Shell and Engen branded fuels and lubricants to retail and commercial customers in Africa. We have been established since 2011 and operate in 23 countries across North, West, East and Southern Africa where we have a network of over 2,400 service stations. We also exports lubricants to a number of other African countries.
Our retail offering includes fuels, lubricants, card services, shops and other non-fuel services (e.g. oil change and car wash). We provide fuels, lubricants and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to our business customers across a range of sectors including marine, mining, and manufacturing. Jet fuel is sold to customers through a partnership with Vitol Aviation.

Vivo Energy’s vision is ‘To become the most respected energy business in Africa’. For us, this means doing business the right way and putting Health, Safety Security and Environment first.

Doing business the right way
At Vivo Energy, we don’t set ourselves demanding ethical standards out of a sense of altruism or because we lack ambition. We do the right thing because it’s the best way to succeed and grow the business.

The standards we apply and adhere to across Africa are the same high standards that apply in the world’s most tightly regulated downstream markets. We have zero tolerance for corruption, unsafe practices, environmental neglect or unfair competition.
Putting Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) first

For us this means:
Goal Zero: putting safety first.
Investing in the future – for the business and the communities and countries in which we operate.
Delivering value to our employees: empower, recognise and reward.
Caring for the environment, communities and people. Clear vision and swift decision-making.

We want our employees, customers and suppliers to be eager to work with us; we want to be a partner of choice for governments in terms of regulating and developing the industry; we want people to say ‘Vivo Energy is a great company’.

When a person says ‘I work at Vivo Energy’, it must resonate. In short, over time, we want to be recognised as Africa’s most respected energy business.
Christian Chammas, CEO Vivo Energy
