Corporate Social Responsibility

Bureau Veritas is committed to Corporate and Social Responsbility (CSR); it sits at the very heart of our organisation. We recognise the impact of business operations on people, communities and the environment, and we use our expertise in safety and sustainability to mitigate the effect of our own operations.

To demonstrate this commitment and ensure complete transparency of our policies, we have published a series of documents spanning governance and operational excellence, health, safety and environmental, as well as human resources and society.
