Some of the Companies Working With Verité
Verité believes that our work is successful to the extent it leads to positive change on the factory floor and for workers and their families.
Gap Inc.
“We believe Verité’s deep experience in monitoring made them an ideal choice to conduct a needs assessment of our internal monitoring program. We were impressed by the thoroughness of their approach. They established a strong rapport with our team and took time to understand our challenges, while at the same time providing us with a critical look at our approach. They provided an impactful combination of analysis and hands on work with our team.”
Levi Strauss & Co.
"Verité's factory assessments set the standard for being able to identify the actual working conditions in a factory. Verité has also been a key partner in enhancing our own capability to effectively gather information from workers. They have helped us to develop policies, processes, and training programs that integrate this effectively into our factory assessments."
Nautica/VF
“In vendor training interventions for Nautica/VF, Verité has been successful in not only reaching short-term compliance, but in implementing effective management systems that ensure long-term compliance and high labor/health & safety standards.”
The Timberland Company
“Rarely do you find a mission-driven organization that is able to fully understand the intricacies of the global supply chain management. Verité is just such an organization. The difference they make both to us as a company, and to communities worldwide, is palpable.”
New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc.
“We chose Verité because of the content, attitude, experience and style represented by Verité's responses to our search for an outside advisor and auditor. What we value in Verité's work is its audit program, extensive network and ability to provide strong advice to treat corporate communications needs. We find Verité, in its various activities, to be very effective.”
Louis Kennedy
“We are impressed by the knowledge and professional approach of the Verité team and in particular the team leader. I think the factory took away the message that Verité is more than just another audit group and that the approach is way above and beyond just 'ticking boxes'. Thanks to all the Verité team for their expertise, hard work and dedication"
Jones Apparel Group
“The information obtained from worker and management interviews is what sets Verité apart from other monitoring firms."
Co-operative Group (CWS) Limited
“The most valuable aspect of working with Verité has been the additional support provided beyond the initial assessment service. Verité's services are better than those of the other monitors that we've used, primarily because of the improved worker interaction.”
Eileen Fisher, Inc.
“Unlike many other monitors, Verité doesn't just use the cookie-cutter approach. I believe that Verité is one of the few independent monitoring organizations that can add integrity to a company's compliance program.”
Pentland Group, PLC
“Verité is an expert on worker interviews -- you know how to do it better than we do. We also value your ability to help communicate [issues] to management in such a way that is likely to get results, rather than make them defensive.”
Calvert Group
"The stakes for companies manufacturing internationally have always been high, but in this current climate of high profile media coverage, shareholder resolutions and class action lawsuits, the value of the work done by Verité to prepare companies for the challenges of global supply chain management is immeasurable. "
Littlewoods
"We have had a strong working relationship with Verité since 1998. Their work is of the highest quality and their experience on the ground is unparalleled, particularly with regard to social issues. We consider them the ‘heavy-hitters’ of their sector because they offer experience, integrity and a unique independence of approach allied to the outlook of their staff and the organisation's not-for-profit status."
