Social responsibility
Promoting the well-being of animals and ensuring their optimal health is an essential aspect of our social responsibility. At VESO we embrace this responsibility and actively contribute to the well-being of animals and fish through our multifaceted role as a comprehensive wholesaler, pharmacy, and research centers. Our primary objective is to facilitate the responsible and safe distribution of thoroughly tested medicines, vaccines and health resources across Norway. By facilitating timely access to essential treatments, we prioritize the health and care of animals.
Why do we take social responsibility?
- 1.Sustainable and safe food production - Promoting sustainable and secure food production lies at the core of our values. By fostering the health of animals, we ensure the safety and sustainability of our own food sources. Through robust biosecurity measures, including vaccines and disinfectants, we actively reduce the occurrence of diseases, subsequently minimizing the need for antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals..
- 2.Good fishing and animal welfare - VESO places great emphasis on the welfare of animals and fish. We are dedicated to the efficient distribution of vaccines and medicines throughout Norway. This enables timely treatment of sick fish and livestock.
- 3.Ethical experimental design - Our dedication to ethical practices extends to our experimental trials. We adhere to the highest ethical standards by ensuring that all our experiments have a societal and scientific value. All trials are approved by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority before initiation. The trials are specifically designed based on the principles of the 3Rs; Replacement, Reduction and Refinement. We continuously improve our models and use adaptive experimental design.
- 4.Environment - Environmental responsibility is paramount for every company, and VESO is no exception. As a proud member of Grønt Punkt Norge, we actively assume responsibility for all types of packaging through approved return systems by the Norwegian Environment Agency.
