The professional association for professionals in the field of Ethics, Compliance, and Integrity

SINCE 2001

Welcome to the VCO

Attention to compliance, ethics and integrity has become an important societal topic over the years. Cross sector. National and international. Cross-sector. National and international. For the private and public domain. For the common good.

For more than 20 years, VCO has been the professional association for professionals focused on Ethics, Compliance, and Integrity. VCO offers a public platform with access to expertise and tools to increase awareness of the focus areas. We often do this in collaboration with our Partners.

Our mission is: ‘Developing, promoting and, protecting the professional focused on Ethics, Compliance and Integrity’.

As an expertise community, we organize monthly meetings with interesting speakers for the members, where we meet both physically and virtually. We offer support to our members within our expert groups, network, and online environment. If you have any ideas for contribution, questions or are you interested in becoming a member? Please contact us via info@vco.nl.

VCO Shape VCO Shape

Lustrum

On Friday 7 October 2022, VCO celebrated its 20+ year anniversary.

The location, the program, speakers, and the presence of more than 160 guests made the day an unforgettable event. Inspired from multiple angles by the stage, break out, and panel sessions. Provided with ‘food for thought’ by speakers Eric Smit, Emanuel van Praag and Jack Esselink. In between, George Parker held up a mirror to us and showed us how quickly you can get into tunnel vision. All this under the leadership of chairman Michelle Fisser.

Meet and network. Ideas for new expertise groups took shape. And in line with VCO’s strategy to grow even more into the professional organization for professionals in the field of Ethics, Compliance, and Integrity. On to the next 20 years!

partners

Working together is the key to success

To achieve our mission, we work together with external Partners. This enables us as a community to get more insights, gain support on specific fields of interest, to collect and share content, and whatever may be of interest to us and vice versa for our Partners. As a community with an independent responsibility, we want to be transparent about our Partnerships. We are always searching for more Partners who support our mission. Please contact Michelle Fisser if you are interested.

We divide the group of Partners in various groups being:
- Content partner
- Media partner: Risk and Compliance platform Europe, Van Doorne
- Community partner: ENFCO, Norea, NBA
- Special purpose partner
- Evenement partner: BDO
