Community
At Halmann Vella, making a positive contribution to the communities where we work has always played an important role and determined the way we do business. We believe that employees who are more closely connected to their communities are more passionate about the work that they do.Our community engagement activities vary from promoting local employment and procurement, skills and training for operators to providing learning and employability opportunities for the new generation and mentoring amongst others.

In everything we do, we strive to create opportunity for our people, clients and communities while preserving resources; however, we also understand that sustainability is about striking a critical balance between commercial success and responsibility to society and environment.We carry out our operations and activities in ways that not only protect the Earth’s natural resources, but also offer opportunities for people to realise their potential and improve their quality of life.
In 2014, a 440kWh solar panel system was installed in our Lija factory. This system contributes to an average annual reduction of 52 tons of Co2. In addition to this, another larger installation of 480kWh is being commissioned in our second factory in Hal Far. Systems installed in both our facilities makes it possible to filter and reuse at least 200,000 litres of water per day.
