Verego

At Goodbody Clearstream, we partner with Verego, a recognised global leader in social responsibility standard (SRS) certification.

This is part of our commitment to help companies achieve best-in-class sustainability standards.   

What is Verego SRS Certification? 

Created in 2010, the Verego Social Responsibility Standard (SRS) was developed in harmony with other world renowned standards like the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)  and the UN Global Compact by standards setting experts, experienced procurement specialists, and corporate social responsibility practitioners to become the world’s only, full-scope certifiable CSR standard that can be applied to the unique operating context of nearly any organisation or supply chain. 

Verego SRS evaluates, prioritises and provides best practice guidance on corporate social responsibility. It assesses performance and measurable impact across five core areas: 

  • Leadership – Governance, strategy, and stakeholder engagement 
  • Ethics – Integrity, compliance, and transparency 
  • People – Employee well-being, development, and inclusion 
  • Community – Social impact, local engagement, and philanthropy 
  • Environment – Resource use, emissions, and sustainability initiatives 

What is the process? 

The Goodbody Clearstream team will undertake rigorous, independent assessments via a review of documentation, stakeholder interviews, and on-site audits to ensure credibility.  This involves a companywide process across all global locations  

As your sustainability partner, we provide expert guidance throughout the Verego certification process: 

  • Pre-assessment and readiness reviews 
  • Policy and documentation support 
  • Stakeholder engagement strategy 
  • Audit preparation and follow-up 

At the end of the process, you will have the opportunity to  

  • Improve the performance of your CSR strategy 
  • Guide the next phase of your CSR planning process 
  • Improve your approach to managing your supply chain  
  • Enable the adoption of GRI guidelines for social standards
