CSR Program

Social. Environmental. Economic.

The Vital Group has a dedicated Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program which targets social, environmental and economic initiatives throughout all of our operating locations. Launched in 2013, Vital’s CSR program ensures that we continue doing our part to give back to the communities that we serve and also to the employees who work day-in and day-out to create the successful company that you see today. Individuals, groups and organizations are eligible on a case-by-case basis to apply for funding or support from Vital. Through our CSR program and in conjunction with our company’s strategy ‘Voyaging Together 2025’, we will continue to support such initiatives and will seek new opportunities to give back, while also creating a sustainable future for our islands.

This scholarship is awarded to qualified students pursuing post-secondary education in priority fields of Agriculture, Engineering, Business, the Applied Sciences (e.g. Chemistry and Botany) and other science fields relevant to Vital’s sphere of operations, although all applications are received and considered.

Recipients of the scholarship, aka Vital Scholars, are students with exemplary college careers and Citizens of Vital’s Host Country, the Federated States of Micronesia.
