VO Group recently published its third CSR report, a major milestone in our commitment to a sustainable, responsible, and inclusive approach. This report goes beyond mere legal obligations, reflecting a strong desire to make progress on all fronts:
VO Group’s impact strategy: turning commitments into action
For three years, VO has voluntarily published its performance and progress report on CSR, aligning with the voluntary VSME reporting standard developed by EFRAG. This report highlights VO’s impact strategy, setting out ambitious and concrete objectives for the future. Rather than just stating theoretical goals, VO details the actions taken in 2024 and the results achieved.
For example, in our national events (VO Event & VO Europe), we successfully reduced the carbon footprint per participant by 8%—a significant step towards aligning with the Paris Agreement’s targets for 2050.
A key differentiator for VO is that we are the only agency that measures the societal impact of each of our projects and sends detailed reports to our clients. This initiative raises awareness and encourages them to choose more sustainable solutions.
A balance between environmental and social considerations
One of the key developments this year is the greater emphasis on the “People” aspect. While previous reports primarily focused on environmental actions, this third CSR report now places social and environmental challenges on an equal footing.
This approach is particularly significant as VO has recently begun the auditing process to obtain BCorp certification—a demanding label that recognises businesses combining social and environmental performance with ethical values and clear, transparent commitment.
VO Group: a model for integrating CSR challenges
In a climate where uncertainty around sustainable transition continues to hinder many economic players, VO Group firmly asserts that environmental and social commitment is not a barrier to performance but rather a driver of innovation and growth.
This report demonstrates this vision in action: by embedding sustainable development into our strategy, we prove that responsibility and economic success can go hand in hand. More than just a document, it is a strong commitment – an invitation to rethink our models and build a desirable and sustainable future together.
