Why ISO 37301 matters and why Vebego is proud to hold it
We’re excited to share that our colleagues in Austria have secured ISO 37301 certification, the international standard for Compliance Management Systems (CMS). But what does that really mean?
What is ISO 37301?
ISO 37301 provides a certifiable framework for organizations to build, maintain, and continuously improve a robust compliance system. It replaces the previous guideline-only ISO 19600 with enforceable requirements and covers everything from leadership commitment and risk-based planning to training, monitoring, and corrective action, all within a structured "Plan Do Check Act" cycle.
Why it matters, especially for Vebego and our stakeholders
- Governance & Integrity: ISO 37301 strengthens operational governance, reduces risks of non-compliance, and underpins ethical decision-making.
- Credibility & Trust: This certification boosts stakeholder confidence. Customers, partners, and regulators alike recognize it as proof of Vebego’s dedication to responsible business practices.
Efficiency & Culture: A well-structured compliance system streamlines procedures, fosters a culture of shared responsibility and continuous improvement, and avoids fragmented approached.
At Vebego, we believe in people at their best: grounded in integrity, care, and high ethical standards. ISO 37301 formalizes our commitment to doing what’s right, not just because it’s required, but because it’s aligned with who we are.
Importantly, this also reflects how we empower our own people. From cleaners to care workers to reception clerks to green workers. We know them, value their potential and create opportunities for growth. A culture of kindness ensures everyone has a safe home at work, where they are welcome and free to be themselves. Compliance also means fair working conditions, safety, transparency, and respect. It ensures that the people who make a difference every day can trust that their wellbeing and rights are protected and that work truly pays.
For our customers, this certification is another proof point that good business and doing good go hand in hand: by taking care of our people, they in turn take care of our clients. It’s a family tradition we’ve held close to our heart for almost 90 years.
This certification demonstrates that we lead by example, embed compliance into everyday actions, and continuously work to improve for our teams, clients, and communities.
