Verlingue, a responsible company
Verlingue’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policy is at the heart of our Verlingue 2024 strategy and provides meaning to our business.
Towards a sustainable future: the ESG strategy of the Adelaïde Group to combine performance and responsibility
Celebrating a 90-year legacy, the Group is committed to continuing its activities while supporting its clients in their sustainable growth. This quest is based on a common goal: reducing the environmental impact and ensuring a prosperous future for all. Our vision is embodied in a robust ESG policy, designed and supported by our employees, clients and partners.
Since its creation, the Group has maintained a responsible conduct and, since 2021, has strengthened its commitments to link sustainability and performance.
The Group’s ESG mission is based on four strategic axes: ethics in action, positive footprint, human development and local commitment to global impact. These pillars guide us towards more ethical business management, reducing our carbon footprint, promoting biodiversity, equity and personal development. We believe that our local involvement is crucial to driving global change.
For 2023, we have laid a solid foundation for our ESG strategy, setting clear targets for continued progress in line with our core values.
Commitment to ethics: zero tolerance of breaches of probity
As part of the Adelaide Group, of which Verlingue is a member, we regard integrity and ethics as fundamental pillars of our identity and our business. In keeping with our values and our responsibility to our employees, business partners and society, we have a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of impropriety.
This policy reflects our unwavering commitment to preventing and detecting any practices that run counter to the principles of ethics and transparency, such as corruption, influence peddling and any other behaviour that is illicit and/or contrary to the code of conduct in force in each Group company which can be reported on the digital reporting tool: https://report.whistleb.com/groupeadelaide
We invite everyone to browse through the details of our approach and to become actively involved in promoting a culture of integrity and compliance. Together, let’s build a future where ethics is at the heart of everything we do.
In line with this policy and aware of the need to integrate the challenges of transition into the heart of its business expertise, Verlingue is committed
- In health: tailor-made actions for a comprehensive protection of employees adapted to changing contexts, supporting responsible consumption and making it easier for HR departments.
- In construction: supporting the construction of new places to live and new territories, by closely integrating social and environmental issues into our approach.
- By car: upporting the future of mobility: a proactive strategy for sustainable and responsible car fleet management.
These commitments, carried to the highest level of the group, are part of our daily lives and are embodied in our values
Verlingue involved with leading organisations
For 2022, Verlingue achieved a score of 68/100 in the Ecovadis assessment. This 3-point increase allows us to be in the top 6% of “insurance agents and brokers” companies (vs. top 10% last year).
The Evovadis methodology is used to assess the extent to which CSR is integrated into a company’s management system through its policies, the actions implemented and the results. It leverages international sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact and the ISO 26000 standard.
Verlingue has been a member of the United Nations Global Compact since 2021 and is committed to upholding the 10 principles relating to human rights, international labour standards, the environment and anti-corruption.
The United Nations Global Compact is the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative. It requires companies to align their strategies and operations with the ten principles relating to human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption and to take action to advance societal goals and the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Since 2022, Verlingue has supported the Forum de l’Engagement, a forum for exchange and sharing for a more united, ethical, inclusive and responsible world.
The Forum de l’Engagement is a platform that gives a voice to players committed to a more supportive, ethical, inclusive and responsible way of working. It is a forum for exchange and sharing so that best practices can be promoted and disseminated. Its aim is to capitalise on what already exists by promoting the many initiatives and innovations that bring societal progress already in place in France and Europe, and to establish a real “trust-based pact” between organisations and French people. At the end of 2022, the Forum will organise the “Sommet de l’Engagement” which will bring together the various public and private leaders involved.
The Adelaide Group is officially certified as a “Health Data Hosting Company (HDS)” for the DSI and Generation perimeter, as a physical infrastructure host and as a hosting company.
The purpose of HDS certification is to strengthen the protection of health data. It is based on standards including compliance with iso standards and enables certification to be issued by an independent accredited body to any structure or organisation hosting health data. Being certified as a Health Data Host differentiates us from our competitors and non-certified players in the sector, facilitates and simplifies contractualisation, and enables us to offer better security of processing to our customers. This HDS certification is also accompanied by the renewal of ISO27001 for the same scope.
