We are incredibly proud to share that Verve has been named CSR Agency of the Year at the prestigious Drum Awards. This recognition is more than an accolade, it’s a reflection of the work, passion, and purpose that drives us every day, across every office, campaign, and community partnership.
In recent years, we set ourselves an ambitious goal: not just to be the best in the world at what we do, but the best for the world we work in. Winning this award shows we’re on the right path, and inspires us to keep raising the bar.
Leading by Example in Sustainability
Sustainability has always been a core part of Verve’s DNA. In the past year, we reached several major milestones that pushed our environmental commitment even further.
- In June 2024, Verve officially became a B Corp, following an intensive 18-month certification process. Achieving B Corp status demonstrates our commitment to the highest verified standards of social and environmental responsibility.
- We also secured ISO 20121 (Event Sustainability) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) certifications across all our offices, Dublin, London, and Amsterdam. becoming the first event agency to achieve both.
- Innovation remains key. We launched Ireland’s first Events Carbon Calculator, empowering clients to measure and reduce the environmental footprint of their live experiences.
This work isn’t about box-ticking, it’s about transforming how we operate, so we leave every place and partnership better than we found it.
Staying True to Our Roots
From humble beginnings to becoming a multi-office, internationally recognised agency, one thing has never changed: our belief in doing business the right way.
Winning CSR Agency of the Year is a proud moment, but it’s also a reminder that the work is never finished. B Corp certification, ISO standards, zero waste goals, these aren’t endpoints. They are starting points for what’s next.
Our mission remains simple: to lead with purpose, to deliver brilliant work for our clients, and to leave a lasting, positive impact on the world around us.
To our team, our partners, and every organisation we’ve been privileged to support, thank you for believing in a better way forward. We’re just getting started.
