Strengthening DNV’s purpose
In DNV, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), focuses on the need to align corporate goals with those of society. With the purpose of safeguarding life, property and the environment, DNV is committed to its clients’ work towards sustainable products and systems. In addition to these external services, DNV’s own CSR performance is a corporate priority area. This work is headed by DNV Corporate Relations and is supported by a CSR Board with representatives from different parts of the organisation.
