ESOMAR: What Corporate Membership Means for Clients

At Vision One, we are committed to delivering research that is insightful, ethical, transparent, and internationally recognised. As a Corporate Member of ESOMAR, we proudly align ourselves with one of the world’s leading organisations for market research, insights, and analytics professionals.

What is ESOMAR?

ESOMAR is the global membership organisation for professionals involved in market research, consumer insights, analytics, and data science. Founded in 1947, ESOMAR exists to promote ethical research practices, professional standards, innovation, and responsible data use across the global insights industry.

One of ESOMAR’s most important contributions is the ICC/ESOMAR International Code on Market, Opinion and Social Research and Data Analytics — a globally recognised framework designed to protect respondents, improve transparency, and ensure research is conducted responsibly.

As data, AI, and digital technologies continue to transform the industry, organisations increasingly need reassurance that the agencies they work with follow internationally recognised standards and best practices.

What does ESOMAR membership mean for Vision One?

Being an ESOMAR Corporate Member demonstrates Vision One Research’s commitment to:

• Ethical and transparent research
• High-quality methodologies
• International best practice
• Responsible data handling
• Participant privacy and GDPR compliance
• Continuous professional development

For clients, this provides confidence that research projects are managed professionally, responsibly, and in accordance with recognised global standards.

Supporting international research across Europe and beyond

Our ESOMAR membership also reflects our ability to conduct international research to the highest standards. Vision One Research regularly supports organisations with multi-market and global studies across Europe and international markets worldwide.

Through our network of trusted international research partners, we deliver both qualitative and quantitative projects across:

• Europe
• North America
• Asia-Pacific
• The Middle East
• Latin America

This includes international online surveys, brand tracking, customer experience studies, B2B research, focus groups, depth interviews, and market expansion projects.

International research requires more than translation alone. Differences in culture, consumer behaviour, regulation, and data privacy laws can significantly impact the quality and accuracy of insights. By working to ESOMAR principles and recognised global standards, we help ensure consistency, reliability, and ethical compliance across every market involved.
