DNV’s goal is to be the world’s leading class society in terms of quality and technology.
Operating responsibly is becoming the only way for many companies and organisations. However, the markets where they conduct business are growing increasingly global in nature and complex in the challenges they pose, requiring new mindsets and solutions.
The demand for energy continues to increase and oil prices remain high. Public concerns about climate change have never been greater and the energy industry is increasingly being challenged to maintain production safely and responsibly. DNV Energy’s key role is to assist the industry in fulfilling its responsibilities for a sustainable future.
During 2006, four leading companies within the different fields of system and software process improvement, IT service management, knowledge management, and IT security became part of DNV. They, together with DNV’s existing expertise in risk management and IT, form a new business area called DNV IT Global Services.
DNV Software is an independent business unit developing innovative software solutions for the maritime, offshore and process industries. From stand-alone applications, the software has now become an alternative way for DNV to share best-engineering practice, experience and knowledge with customers.
One of the most important competitive advantages that DNV has is its investment in research and innovation. Since 1954, DNV has had a dedicated research department that has enhanced and developed services, rules and industry standards in multiple fields. It is a unit that will help determine how business is done, both by DNV and related industries, into the next generation.
