Alignment with Verité
For this event we aligned with Verité as a Charity Partner. The reason for this alignment is the fact that both CGE and Verité have the same mission.
As CGE, we see an increasingly more complex world, and therefore an increase of inherent risks. We believe that because of this, more insight and overview is required with regard to risk factors. And with that more useful information and communication is required for a safe working environment and reliable operations for all stakeholders. We believe our clients can have safer operations using best of class barrier based risk management software solutions - and the best advise possible from our consultancy partners.
Verité's mission is to ensure that people around the world work under safe, fair, and legal conditions.
After the first 100 registrations, 10% of the registration fees will be donated to Verité. On top of that 50% of the Charity Dinner fees will be donated to Verité.
