Exercising Corporate Responsibility means to strive for balance between the environmental, social, and economic performance of your business. Triple bottom line reporting is a way to inform stakeholders of your performance along environmental, social, and economic parameters.
However, to produce relevant and reliable reports, you need internal management and information systems. Your real challenge is to integrate sustainable development issues in your internal processes, e.g. through an environmental management system or social accountability programme.
Corporate Responsibility is a business approach that addresses a wide range of risks, arising from human rights, labour rights and environmental standards to fraud, community and market place practices. DNV provides targeted risk management solutions across these areas, from management system certification, risk profiles and assessments to reporting assurance and climate change services.

Companies operate in different markets with different political, social, and cultural environments. This influences how you operate and what customers, authorities, non-governmental organisations, and other stakeholders expect of you. Corporate Responsibility is an emerging field continually under development. There is not one right way to exercise or report on Corporate Responsibility today. But DNV can help you navigate through the complex landscape of codes and guidelines and best practices.
DNV is a participant in a number of international forums dedicated to develop guidelines and direction for managing corporate responsibility risks, such as the UN Global Compact, ISO 26000, World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), Global Reporting Inititative (GRI), and Transparency International (TI).
