About us | Vectra International

The VECTRA Story

We co-founded VECTRA International in 2005 to improve the lives of workers in supply chains, for products and services, to enhance the lives of the people in the local communities. Supply chains are where you can reach the most vulnerable people and have the greatest impact to protect people.

We believe business can be a force for good. Our goal is to improve businesses' performance while helping their workers. That’s why we created a logo with five stakeholders (workers, workplaces, brand, community, and consumers) and embedded our values in the VECTRA name: Values, Ethics, Community, Transparency, Rights, and Action.

VECTRA’s mission is to positively impact businesses, their workers, and communities by helping to create better and more efficient supply chain workplaces.
