Offshore wind turbines face higher wind speeds than onshore turbines and face strong ocean currents, requiring more robust designs and significantly higher capital costs. While they generate more energy due to stronger winds, these increased costs result in a higher levelized cost of energy (LCOE). The HIPERWIND project has developed new design simulation models that reduce the LCOE by up to 9%, thus making offshore wind turbine construction and operation more cost-effective and reliable.

DNV’s first Spain-focused Energy Transition Outlook (ETO) underscores the critical need to accelerate efforts toward achieving the country’s 2050 climate neutrality goals.

Production, distribution and consumption within the food and beverage sector are experiencing major shifts. New stringent environmental, social and governance (ESG) regulations, and changes in both consumer behaviour and preferences are two of the main drivers for this. DNV’s newest report on sustainable food systems looks at these evolutions and describes the benefits and opportunities for companies to start thinking of the ESG dimensions as interconnected entities rather than separate aspects of sustainability.  

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance shows how a company is addressing sustainability challenges. When combined with financial indicators, this gives a more complete picture of the risk and opportunity profile of a company for stakeholders.​ Head of Sustainability Development and Climate at DNV, Ellen Skarsgård, and Environmental Analyst, Katerina Tzafilkou, reflect on how ESG reporting requirements might change in the future and how DNV works with customers to help them bring their ESG strategy to life.

Over the past five years, social criteria in ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) have evolved from a sign of good corporate citizenship to a requirement to satisfy growing demands from governments, shareholders, investors, and the public for more transparency.

Social criteria in ESG reporting refers to how a company interacts with employees, suppliers, and society at large.

Boards that tune into stakeholder demands truly support decision-making and build resilience.
