VARO
VARO Energy is a dynamic, fast developing, integrated European downstream company launched in 2012. Our ambitious acquisition and integration strategy created a major energy company that cares for its customers across North-Western Europe. We have a solid background in traditional energies, with a refining capacity of 176,000 bbl./day and a total storage capacity of almost 2,5mio m3. In the meantime, through our ONE VARO strategy, we are transforming ourselves into a leading energy transition company with a strong strategic focus on green hydrogen, bio-methane and bio-LNG, biofuels, carbon offsets and E-mobility. Renewables already contribute half of our total annual result and we are looking to expand further in this area. Leveraging our knowledge in the renewables space will not only allow us to make a positive contribution to the energy transition, it will also enable us to further grow our market share. We will do so via our strong marketing organisation with activities in wholesale, retail and end-consumer deliveries. In combination with our sophisticated supply & trading and biofuels organisation, we excel at unlocking value from our Integrated Fuels Value Chains (FVCs).
VARO Energy offers an exciting working environment that is characterised by strong teamwork, a flat organisation, a fast pace, entrepreneurial thinking & acting and having fun. Everybody has the chance to make a difference, develop a career and contribute to sustainable growth in an exciting and changing industry. VARO Energy is a partnership between the international energy and commodities company Vitol and the global asset manager The Carlyle Group.
Our company is growing in northwest Europe and always looking for new talent that will actively support us in future expansions, particularly in our German operations.
