On March 28, 2025, Vivo Energy Tanzania was honored with the prestigious Service Excellence Award at the Tanzania Service Excellence Awards ceremony, held at the Holiday Inn in Dar es Salaam.
The award, presented by the Chartered Institute of Customer Management, recognizes the company's exceptional performance and contributions to the petroleum sector, showcasing its sustained growth and leadership in the industry.
This accolade highlights the company's significant achievements over the past few years, underscoring its dedication to quality service and its alignment with national policies, particularly those focused on clean and renewable energy.
Vivo Energy Tanzania's efforts have not only contributed to the development of the energy sector but have also set a benchmark for service delivery in the region.
The company’s diverse portfolio includes lubricants, fuels, and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Its operations are deeply integrated with Tanzania’s push for sustainable and clean energy solutions.
This commitment aligns with the country's broader vision of transitioning to renewable energy sources and ensuring that energy solutions are both efficient and environmentally friendly.
In addition to its strong presence in the petroleum market, Vivo Energy Tanzania has also been recognized for its impactful community investment initiatives.
The company runs a range of high-impact programs designed to provide long-lasting social and economic benefits to the communities in which it operates.
One of the most notable recent initiatives was its community engagement campaign at Msimbazi Secondary School. Through this initiative, the company empowered youth, reaching an impressive 12,000 students across 21 schools in Dar es Salaam.
This program was part of Vivo Energy’s broader strategy to foster educational growth and youth empowerment.
Education is a central focus for Vivo Energy Tanzania, which has consistently played an active role in advancing education and creating opportunities for students in the country.
As part of this commitment, the company has supported Tanzanian students in various ways, including sponsoring their participation in industry events.
A notable recent example of this is Vivo Energy's sponsorship of students from the University of Dodoma (UDOM) and the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM).
These students participated in the 25th East African Petroleum Conference and Exhibition (EAPCE'25), held at the Julius Nyerere International Convention Centre in Dar es Salaam from March 5th to 7th, 2025.
This sponsorship provided students with invaluable exposure to the oil and gas sector, allowing them to engage with industry leaders and gain insights into the future of energy in East Africa.
Vivo Energy Tanzania’s journey began in 2019, when it began operations as a licensee of the Engen brand for diesel and petrol, and the Shell brand for lubricants. Since then, the company has steadily grown, establishing itself as a key player in Tanzania's energy landscape.
Its commitment to providing high-quality fuels and lubricants, combined with its focus on community development and sustainability, has enabled the company to build strong relationships with customers and stakeholders.
The award for service excellence not only acknowledges Vivo Energy Tanzania’s growth but also affirms its role in shaping the future of the petroleum sector in Tanzania.
The company's dedication to environmental sustainability, coupled with its focus on community empowerment, highlights its commitment to being a responsible corporate entity that supports both economic and social development.
Moving forward, Vivo Energy Tanzania is expected to continue playing a pivotal role in driving Tanzania's energy sector towards a more sustainable future.
The company’s vision, combined with its ongoing investments in community programs and education, will undoubtedly contribute to the country’s energy goals and create further opportunities for the next generation of Tanzanian leaders in the energy sector.
The Service Excellence Award is a testament to Vivo Energy’s dedication to service, quality, and its deep connection with the communities it serves.
