Our values and commitments
Verlingue’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policy is at the heart of our Verlingue 2024 strategy and provides meaning to our business.
In a demanding economic, regulatory and competitive environment, we want to leave a positive mark on our environment and make concrete commitments in our global management to our employees, customers and partners.
We believe in the strength of independence.
These commitments are implemented at the highest level of the group and are reflected in our values. Being a management and family-owned company allows us to work freely and in the best interest of our customers, always striving to be ambitious and demanding whilst keeping to our schedule.
We believe that entrepreneurship is an asset for seizing opportunities in a changing world.
The commitment to serve our customers is a pillar of our project and our organisation.
We seek to be a high-performance group that cares about people and gives everyone the means to flourish and develop professionally.
We want our employees to be enthusiastic, enjoy themselves and find their work rewarding. We encourage empathy, simplicity and initiative. We appreciate the clarity of the relationship and the straightforwardness.
An ESG policy supported by our values
“Addressing societal issues and economic, social, environmental and governance expectations is fully in line with Verlingue’s 2024 strategic plan. This ESG policy is strongly supported by our values, which are based on independence, entrepreneurship, commitment to serving our customers, respect and personal development.”
Gilles Bénéplanc
CEO
We make concrete commitments
Carried at the highest level of the group, these commitments carry us forward on a daily basis 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.
