An assessment is a valuable tool for communicating your risk management performance across business areas in your company, as well as to investors, regulators, and other stakeholders. It provides external validation of your ability to manage risk related to your corporate responsibility. It can help manage shareholder and stakeholder expectations and signal your commitment to national, international, and/or industry standards for corporate responsibility.

DNV can locate problem areas, and change them into strategic, organisational, and operational assets. Understanding business risks can reduce reaction time, and improve the balance between risk adversity and conscious risk taking. Communicating on corporate responsibility risks helps you build internal awareness and identify clear responsibilities for managing these risks.
