TAKING A BROADER VIEWAn introduction to DNV GL

Page 2: DNV GL corporate brochure 2014

IT’S TIME TO TAKE A BROADER VIEWto address increased complexity

Page 3: DNV GL corporate brochure 2014

Businesses all over the world are confronted by more and more dilemmas. They face complicated decisions about operations and investments, juggling financial, envir onmental, regulatory and social considerations at the same time.

Despite the complexity of these chal lenges, businesses are expected to manoeuvre for excellence. Companies are being scrutinized by many different stakeholders – from end consumers and investors to regulators and

non-governmental organizations. They show zero toler-ance for failure and only trust businesses that behave – and don’t just talk – in a responsible manner.

At DNV GL, we enable businesses to be better prepared to deal with this scrutiny and increased complexity. We use our independence and fact-based approach to build trust between stakeholders. To do that, we must take a broader view.

SOME DECISIONS NEVER GET A SECOND CHANCE

A broader view on details

You need to start with the right facts

Some decisions have long-term consequences. Take, for example, the thousands of decisions and long-term consequences of constructing a gas pipeline or a ship, or establishing a wind farm. Not only does each of these present regulatory, financial, environmental, technical and operational challenges, they require you to be able to manage diverse – and sometimes conflicting – stakeholder interests.

To ensure that you make the right decisions regarding any of these challenges, you need the right facts, the right skills and detailed, trustworthy knowledge in many different areas. DNV GL has deep competencies within a broad range of fields. We help companies better understand and manage risks and make sound, informed decisions based on facts. The real value, however, is our ability to combine this detailed know ledge and address the bigger picture.

ADDRESSING THE ENERGY ‘TRILEMMA’Over the next 35 years, demand for en-ergy is expected to increase by almost 60 per cent. At the same time, society expects energy to be greener, more reliable and affordable. This is what we refer to as the energy ‘trilemma’.

As a consequence, we must change the way we generate, transmit, distrib-ute and use energy if we are to attain a sustainable future.

With over 90 years in the power indus-try, we are committed to solving the energy trilemma with leading innova-tion activities and proven global en-ergy services. These include strategic and technical advice, planning, testing, inspection and certification.

Through our 2,500 energy experts in 30 countries and 10 advanced laboratories, we can assist companies in solving both global and local energy challenges.

RELIABLE, AFFORDABLE AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY

Test Engineer, High Voltage, Arnhem, The Netherlands

Energy transport over longer distances is needed to meet the increased global demand for electricity and to connect new energy sources in remote areas to highly populated places. Proper testing of new equipment, like transformers, circuit breakers, and cables, for this extreme segment minimizes the risk of major unexpected outages. At DNV GL we test our customers’ circuit breakers, trans-formers, cable systems and other transmission and distribution equipment for their safe and reliable operation.

Adriaan Hofstee works on developing new technologies to test and certify high voltage power equipment needed in super grids. He is excited about the prospect of working in the first laboratory in the world capable of testing ultra-high power for super grid networks of 800 kV and above.

MAKING FOOD AND BEVERAGES SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE

PIERGIORGIO MORETTI

Carbon Footprint & Lifecycle Assessment Responsible, Venice, Italy

All food depends on water, be it primary products or processed food. More than 70% of the Earth is covered by water, but only 2.5% is fresh water. Water scarcity has become a global issue with increased consumption and a growing world population.

Piergiorgio sees that companies are starting to measure and man-age their water usage in order to reduce their total consumption of water. By assessing the companies’ calculations of their consump-tion values, customers do not just realize they can do more with less water and thereby reduce costs. They are also able to communicate their commitment to a sustainable business performance in an effective, transparent and trustworthy way.

ENHANCED PERSON-CENTRED CAREModern healthcare can boast many impres-sive achievements: from improving cancer survival rates and the eradication of small-pox to the development of innovative treat-ments and technologies such as antibiotic therapy and organ transplants. However, the increased complexity that is required for the delivery of advanced care comes together with increased risks to patients and staff.

By combining our experience in other safety critical sectors with our deep knowl-edge of healthcare in over 40 countries, we support healthcare providers to proactively identify and manage patient safety and other quality risks to improve the value of the healthcare they deliver. By adopting

systems thinking, organized around the needs of the patient, healthcare providers will be better positioned to consistently deliver tailored healthcare in a sector that is constantly undergoing change.

Our services include accreditation of hospi-tals and other healthcare organizations. The accreditations are based on our own stand-ards and schemes and are recognized by the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid as well as ISQua.

We also deliver certification to management system standards that address quality, infec-tion risk, environmental impact, energy man-agement and information security, as well as product certification for medical devices.

FOCUSED ON YOUR FUTURE

When you take a systematic approach to managing issues such as quality, environmental impact, safety and security – whether inside your organization or along your value chain – you put in place the building blocks of sustainable business performance. Our belief is that tomorrow’s successful companies will be those that create value while meeting the world’s economic, social and environmental needs. We partner with our customers in most industries to help them address today’s challenges while building a safe and sus-tainable tomorrow together.

Management systems certification This is a systematic approach to understand, manage and respond to our customers’ most critical risks. Certification against recognized standards assesses compliance but also how well the management system supports the most critical business objectives and builds stakeholder trust.

Product assurance Product certification can be a ticket-to-trade certification of compliance against required quality and safety standards and is increasingly linked to stakeholders demanding assur-ance of acceptable standards, i.e. product sustainability.

Supply chain management Managing what goes on in supply chains requires ad-dressing issues from environmental impact to workers’ rights, to quality and safety. Actions can range from assessing procurement and supply chain management practices, to certifying supply chain management systems, and auditing, assessing and training suppliers.

Sustainability strategy & reporting Creating a sustainability strategy requires identifying, understanding and prioritizing the social, environmental and economic risks and opportunities most significant to a company’s stakeholders. This becomes the basis for align-ing the organization, especially integrating sustainability into management practices. Reporting sustainability can provide compelling evidence of performance.

Training Equipping employees with awareness, knowledge and skills is essential to any organization’s success. No matter how well processes and procedures are designed, they are only as good as the people implementing and execut-ing them. Whether a quality system or a complex design process, training helps companies embed systems in their way of working so they may manage today’s challenges and build a robust foundation for the future.
