While governments around the world encourage business actors to take increased responsibility for the environment and society surrounding corporations, the rest of the world is also increasingly watchful. When companies openly comply to the multiple demands made in the new risk environment, the resulting goodwill can make a difference.

While a credit rating only covers parts of a company’s risk and value, we offer several rating services that go further and deliver a supplementary picture of your company’s performance – rated and benchmarked against international best practice.

Partner with DNV for:

• Corporate Responsibility Assessment
  Corporate responsible behaviour and how the company manages the risks to intangible assets from material value drivers have significant impact on the financial value of your company. Our Corporate Responsibility Assessment takes an investor’s view on 14 elements within corporate governance, environmental performance, employment, and ethical risk.
  
  This rating service can be used by your company internally or, if your company decides to publish the overall rating result, by the investment community for a detailed understanding of corporate responsibility performance.
  
  
• Corporate Governance Assessment
  We independently assess the status of compliance and effectiveness of corporate governance in your company. The assessment criteria are based on the major codes and best practices such as: The OECD Principles, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, UK Combined Code, New York Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Rule Proposal, and SEC Rules.
  
  
• Fraud & Corruption Resistance Profile
  We assess the elements integrated in your management system in order to prevent fraud and corruption. Fraud and corruption constitute a major risk for an organisation’s tangible assets as well as its reputation and brand value. Requirements are built on UN Global Compact Principles on Anti-corruption, the OECD Business Approaches to Combating Corrupt Practices, Transparency International’s Business Principles for Countering Bribery, the COSO Internal Control Framework, and Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 404.
