TAKING A BROADER VIEWAn introduction to DNV GL

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

Businesses all over the world are confronted by more

and more dilemmas. They face complicated decisions

about operations and investments, juggling inancial,

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, inancial, environmental, technical

and operational challenges, they require you to be able

to manage diverse – and sometimes conlicting –

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 ields. 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.

ENABLING SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE

by understanding how the details are connected

Having deep competence across a broad range of areas

is not enough. To navigate safely through mounting com-

plexity, you must understand how all details are connect-

ed and how they impact the bigger picture.

We help to do exactly that through:

Independent assurance services: classification,

certification, assessment, verification and testing

These are the means for businesses to constantly improve

and prove compliance with regulatory requirements, rules,

standards and recommended practices to ensure the

highest standards of quality, safety and sustainability.

Expert advisory services

We enable businesses to solve complex technical or

operational challenges to advance their per formance in

a safe and sustainable manner.

Standards and recommended practices

We accumulate and share insights from our extensive,

hands-on industry experience, technical know ledge and

joint industry innovations by developing new or updated

standards and recommended practices.

Qualification of new technologies

Based on our trusted, independent approach and proven

technical expertise and methodologies, we help business-

es qualify their new technologies. Although we never de-

sign or manufacture products ourselves, we nevertheless

use our know ledge to inspire the industry by developing

new concepts to solve complex challenges.

Advanced software products

Through a full suite of software solutions we support a

variety of business critical activities including design and

engineering, risk assessment, asset integrity and optimiza-

tion, QHSE and ship management.

ADRIAAN HOFSTEE

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 certiication.

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.

ENSURING A SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN Our global food system is under pressure from population growth, changing consump-tion patterns, increasing complexity of supply chains, soil depletion and climate change.

Consumers and regulators, retailers and food manufacturers are demanding high standards of safety, quality and transpar-ency. Companies are increasingly held accountable for their entire value chain. We work with companies from farm to fork on issues from sound sourcing, safety and quality to product sustainability. Our services include certiication of food, feed

safety and quality management systems to relevant recognized standards.

We help customers to manage supply chain risk, including traceability certiication that supports and substantiates the supply chain transparency. Through our product certii-cation services, we verify the safety, quality and sustainability of particular products and assure their sustainable sourcing.

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

IMPROVING HEALTHCARE

JOHN COOKE

A hospital isn’t just a building; it is a place where individuals and

families seek advice and comfort. Above all, it is a place where

excellence is the minimum expectation and where a mistake can

change your life in a heartbeat.

For John Cooke, patient safety and quality care is at the top of the

agenda every day. He works relentlessly to help healthcare author-

ities and institutions to identify, assess and manage their risks to

ensure sustainable practices. He believes the success of our accred-

itation and certification services centers on the ability to recognize

the fundamental and unique elements of each customer’s culture,

circumstances and mission.

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. Certiication

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 certiication can be a ticket-to-trade certiication 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 signiicant 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.
