The history of Vireo
Vireo is founded as a company specialising in environmental certification, initiating its first collaborations with the Soil Association for FSC® and PEFC certification.
Vireo begins collaborating with Acoura Marine Ltd to provide services related to Marine Stewardship Council™ and Aquaculture Stewardship Council™ certifications, thereby expanding its expertise in the fields of sustainable fisheries and aquaculture.
The company becomes a certification partner of Interface for FSC, PEFC, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, certifying over 300 companies under the FSC Chain of Custody and expanding its scope of operations across Europe.
Vireo obtains official accreditation from the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), becoming one of the few bodies in the world authorised to certify hotels and tourism operators.
The company expands its presence in South-East Asia.
Vireo SouthEast Asia is officially established, the result of a partnership with Malaysia and Singapore that expands the company’s international presence abroad. In the same year, Vireo certifies its first GSTC destination (Valsugana) and opens the Bolzano office, dedicated to services for sustainable tourism.
Vireo awards the GSTC certification to the city-state of Singapore as a sustainable destination.
Vireo further expands its international presence with the opening of Vireo UK.
Two new strategic partnerships are consolidated: Vireo China and Vireo Japan, further strengthening the company's internationalisation project.
