Making a difference
Long trusted for our competence and integrity, DNV works to have a positive global impact on some of the world’s most pressing concerns, such as safeguarding the environment and balancing the needs of business and society.
Report of the Board of Directors 2007
Strong growth in the world economy throughout 2007, combined with an increasingly complex risk environment, makes it vital to manage technical, societal and business risks. Society is adopting a zero tolerance for failure, and companies are expected to run safe, reliable and sustainable operations. DNV is in a unique position to meet these demands. The growth in the company’s turnover of 11% in 2007 demonstrates the need for services to identify, assess and manage risk.
Living our values
The international employee participation in DNV’s governing bodies is unprecedented for a Norwegian company. DNV emphasises that employees from all over the world are heard and represented. The Board of Directors contains employee representatives who are based in Norway, France and China, and the Council has employee representatives who work in Italy, India, China and Norway.
Measuring performance
This annual report presents DNV’s financial, social and environmental performance in line with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines. Our vision of a global impact for a safe and sustainable future is reflected throughout the report and particular emphasis has been given to the global challenge involved in climate change.
