These expert groups discuss about socially relevant topics in the field of Ethics, Compliance, and Integrity. The Expert Groups also ensure that they share their expertise via different channels and events with all members of the VCO and beyond. For example, by writing white papers, articles and guidelines, but also by organizing webinars, seminars, and podcasts.

European business is gearing up for sustainability reporting. In the Netherlands, there are reportedly between 3,000 and 6,000 companies that must comply with the new rules: the CSRD and ESRS. At the invitation of the ESG Expert Group, the AFM talks about the expected compliance with the new corporate sustainability reporting requirements (CSRD and ESRS) on Monday 11 September (16:00-18:00 hrs). This is a follow-up to her report ‘CSRD: geen tijd te verliezen!’ of march 23rd. Please note that this is an ALL ENGLISH EVENT.

Location: the Pharos building, Mercuriusplein 1, Hoofddorp, opposite Hoofddorp NS station.Park in P&R of Hoofddorp station and then walk under the station to Mercuriusplein.

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!
