How do we ensure that we operate sustainably?
We have identified the economic, social and environmental risks, opportunities and impacts that are most important to our customers, employees and society. Our important topics are outlined in detail in our latest annual report .
DNV GL reports in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative Standards at the Core Level, and a third party has conducted a limited assurance of our report.
Sustainability is embedded within the DNV GL management system and we seek continual improvement through certification to external standards, such as ISO 14001 for environment and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety. Our operations are guided by the ten principles of the UN Global Compact and our Code of Conduct. We also expect our suppliers to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct.
Working to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals
DNV GL works closely with customers, industry associations and international organizations such as the UN Global Compact and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development in pursuit of change to a more sustainable world.
We are a resolute supporter of the SDGs. Through our business activities we contribute to the SDGs, with a particular focus on Goals 7, 9 and 13, areas where we believe we can contribute most.
