Vivo Energy Ghana Unveils State-of-the-Art Nursing Facility for Expectant and Nursing Mothers

Vivo Energy Ghana, the leading distributor and marketer of Shell-branded fuels and lubricants in Ghana, has commissioned a dedicated nursing facility at its Accra head office. 

The facility, named Obaatanpa, is designed to provide a supportive environment for expectant and nursing mothers within the organisation. 

Obaatanpa, which translates to “a caring mother” in the Ghanaian language, is a key component of Vivo Energy Ghana’s ShePower project. 

This flagship program aims to empower women in the workplace and society, and would also promote a culture of diversity and inclusion. 

The facility is equipped with modern amenities, including comfortable seating for lactation, refrigeration for breast milk storage, baby cots, playing toys for toddlers, and a serene relaxation area. 

This thoughtful design enables nursing mothers to balance their professional responsibilities and maternal duties effectively. 

Jean-Michel Arlandis, Managing Director of Vivo Energy Ghana, reiterated the company’s commitment to creating a supportive work environment. 

“At Vivo Energy Ghana, we are dedicated to ensuring that our female employees have access to the resources they need to thrive both professionally and personally,” he stated. 

The Obaatanpa Nursing Facility addresses a critical need for working mothers, demonstrating Vivo Energy Ghana’s commitment to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), particularly SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being). 

This initiative has been met with enthusiasm from expectant and nursing mothers within the company, who appreciate the company’s investment in their well-being and work-life balance.
