Values Matter
Sustainability Report
Since our founding more than 20 years ago, Vermilion has been guided by our core values of Excellence, Trust, Respect and Responsibility. We believe that producing energy for the many people and businesses that rely upon it to meet their daily needs and sustain their quality of life is both a great privilege and a great responsibility.
Excellence. Trust. Respect. Responsibility. These four core values guide what we do and how we do it.
Our strong culture is the single most important factor in our long-term success.
Vermilion’s highest priority is conducting our business in a way that ensures the health and safety of our people and those involved directly or indirectly in our operations.
Vermilion focuses on a shared value approach to strategically investing in our communities. This is embodied in our company mission statement: to deliver superior rewards to investors, employees, partners and the communities in which we operate.

Vermilion continues to demonstrate excellent results in the Great Place to Work Institute’s® Best Workplaces competition, which we use as a tool for continuous improvement in our culture and people practices.
In 2019, Vermilion was recognized as being among the:
The rankings are based on the Institute’s two-fold approach, which includes an independent assessment of our culture along with our employees' confidential responses to the Institute’s survey.
In part, we attribute our strong results to the importance we place on reviewing and addressing the staff feedback shared through each business unit’s annual survey. We believe this is so important that we ask staff in all business units to participate in the survey, regardless of whether their staff count meets the minimum requirement to compete for Best Workplace recognition. This is the case in Australia and the United States, where our staff count is below the qualifying threshold.
Through the survey results, we gain a strong understanding of why our people choose to come to Vermilion, what they value and why they choose to stay. Competitive total compensation, exciting opportunities for growth and development, and pride in how we give back to the communities where our people live and work continue to be reasons why our voluntary turnover rate is among the lowest in our industry.
Vermilion's commitment to people - it is a refreshing take on how a company takes care of its people, and where that in turn encourages employees to want to take care of the company that takes care of them so well. It is a nice feeling, especially for such a large organization! Big Company with a Small Company/Family feel.
Vermilion's founders are driven by integrity, opportunities who bring a wealth of experience working well with and leading people. Vermilion managers and executives are in tune with the environment we are in and they have beneficial contingencies to choose from. They global focus is exciting and the balance of properties around the world is viewed well by investors.
This is a great place to work due to the way upper management and field personnel are able to relate and communicate with each other. It gives it that small company family feel. Also the culture that Vermilion exhibits in the way of HSE and also in community and family values is second to none which is one of the reasons this is a great place to work.
