VO

Our vision

Never has the world changed at such a frantic pace. What was true yesterday is not necessarily true today. What works today may not be worth much tomorrow. In this constantly changing society, where everything is accelerating, sometimes at dizzying speed, the challenge on individuals, companies and institutions to adapt is also constant and often mind-blowing. 

At a time when crises are coming thick and fast, in an era of digitisation and at the dawn of the age of artificial intelligence, we at VO want to play our role in building an authentic society that is at peace with itself, one based on deeper values that we all share.  

As players in the transition to a more responsible, sustainable society that focuses on the human factor, on making life meaningful and on nurturing social ties, we act daily to bring about change.  

Tomorrow’s society will depend on our actions today.

VO – Today for tomorrow 

Our mission

At VO, we want our actions to reflect our role as a key player in this society in transition, a society underpinned by respect and dialogue between all stakeholders, whether companies, institutions, valued individuals or consumers.  

Our ambition is to actively participate in the creation of a more humane and just society and a better world for future generations.  

A team with added value

While our underlying ambition may be to create value for our clients’ brands or projects, the lynchpin of the group itself are all our employees and the values that drive them.

Quality

We firmly believe that the meaning we create must lead to results. 

Entrepreneurship

We leave plenty of room for freedom of expression and action, as well as for individual responsibility.  

Respect

All our approaches and processes are carried out with the greatest respect for people and nature. 

Open mind

Every day, we appreciate that true wealth lies in a diversity of cultures, ideas, experiences, backgrounds and talents.

Trust

Only mutual trust paves the way for a long-term relationship with our stakeholders, as well as real autonomy internally.

Boldness

Daring to rewrite the rules and to propose the unexpected so that our creativity always smacks of freshness and originality.

How we do things

Sustainability

VO is all about maximising our positive impact and that of our client and minimising negative impact. This is why our approach revolves around sustainability, a choice that allows us to deliver our service with due consideration for social and environmental issues. 

Content

Securing quality, creativity and consistency means complete command of content and context. We therefore factor exhaustive knowledge and understanding of the subjects and issues into all our projects. The stories we tell are all devised to be in tune with our clients’ values.

Innovation

Innovation is at the heart of our processes and products. In addition to in-house talent, we surround ourselves with experts with diverse skills. Whether internal or external, they are all chosen for their ability to master the latest technologies so as to harness the potential of all the digital tools and let it loose on our communication. Both digital (web, PR, SoMe) and within the framework of events (virtual, hybrid, in-person digital experience).

Diversity

The emphasis on inclusion that is central to VO provides us with a diversity of opinions, backgrounds and professional experiences and allows us to bounce ideas off each other. This gives us the impetus to go further, to broaden our perspective, and thus strengthen our contribution to the shaping of the world that lies ahead of us.

Anticipation

To be ahead of the game, anticipation is more than a watchword… it’s an attitude. VO is a brainstormer of ideas, a catalyst for reflection on present and future issues, and an inventor of solutions that are both ambitious and relevant.

Flexibility

Lastly, flexibility, the ability to adapt, the capacity to listen and to analyse are inherent to our way of working. This allows us to constantly reinvent ourselves, to break new ground and to manage complex projects with multiple facets and challenges.  

Our engagement

VO’s transition began in 2015 and continues with a clear ambition: to be a driver of innovation and change for our sector. 

Convinced that sustainable development is a lever for creativity and performance, we are integrating environmental, social and human issues at every level of our activities – communications, events and European projects. Our commitment is based on three pillars: 

  • Measuring: 100% of our projects are assessed with My Impact Tool to understand and reduce our footprint. 
  • Improving: We adopt best practices to balance creativity, budget, impact and ROI. 
  • Decarbonise: We invest in high-impact projects to offset our residual emissions. 
 

But our responsibility goes further. We are also committed to inclusion and diversity, integrating these principles into our internal practices, our productions and our collaborations. We train our teams in the challenges of sustainable development and inclusion and develop partnerships with our customers, suppliers and partners to create a virtuous circle at every stage. 

Our commitment is driven by ambitious objectives, rigorous monitoring and total transparency, illustrated by our current certifications and labels (EMAS, ISO 14001). 

Our programme and results are detailed in our CSR Report 2024.
