Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Each year Vistatec takes part in a number of Corporate Social Responsibility activities and we work closely with a number of charities at a local and global level. Vistatec people located around the world are encouraged to take part and we are extremely proud to participate in this important area.

Goal

Since it’s inception GOAL has worked with tens of millions of people across almost sixty countries. GOAL has over 3,500 staff in numerous locations in the developing world since 1977.

GOAL is focussed on Emergency Response, Health, Child Protection, Livelihoods, and Development Education.

The GOAL Mission Statement

“To work towards ensuring that the poorest and most vulnerable in our world and those affected by humanitarian crises have access to the fundamental rights of life, including but not limited to adequate shelter, food, water and sanitation, healthcare, education, and economic opportunities.”

The GOAL Vision

“We envision a world where poverty and hunger no longer exist; where communities are prepared for seasonal shocks; where structural and cultural barriers to growth are removed; and where every man, woman and child has equal rights and access to resources and opportunities.”

GOAL Jersey Day is one of our favorite days of the year here at Vistatec. It’s the perfect opportunity to proudly wear your team colors and an excuse to share your sporting opinions with friends and colleagues working at Vistatec across the world.

Happy Magazine

Vistatec is delighted to support Holly Kennedy at Happy Magazine. Happy Magazine is an innovative support website for people affected by cancer in Ireland.

It publishes relevant positive and helpful content for anyone going through cancer or surviving after cancer (a patient or their friends/families) 7 days a week/365 days a year. A reader who follows Happy Magazine over time receives long-term encouragement, motivation, and support for making positive changes to help them become more happy and healthy in their life after a cancer diagnosis.

Daily content is managed by founder Holly Kennedy, a young mother-of-one and also a recent breast cancer survivor. Content is contributed by Holly as well as crowd-sourced from other cancer survivors, leading voices in the Irish health and wellness space, relevant organizations, charities, businesses, and interested parties. Happy Magazine also makes the best use of available online resources to support cancer patients who do not have the energy or desire to attend a local support center, sharing videos on cooking, yoga, home exercise routines, music therapy, meditations, podcasts and more.

HappyMagazine.ie is currently the only non-charity, non-medical dedicated cancer support resource in Ireland.

HappyMagazine.ie will launch its first print edition in December 2018. The launch issue will have a print run of 10,000 copies and be solely funded by relevant advertising revenue. The magazine will be distributed across the country to all cancer treatment centers. The magazine will also be the first dedicated cancer support magazine in Ireland.
