Climate+change

A carbon-constrained world is a new reality for organisations and companies. Emissions regulations are changing and stakeholders are increasingly pressuring management on environmental performance. Meanwhile, opportunities for competitive differentiation are emerging, energy and other input costs are rising, new risks from climate change are increasing and carbon markets are evolving.

Building trust in the low carbon economy

Businesses recognise the climate change issue as a serious societal problem. To take their part in the solution, they need to act in a responsible and responsive manner implying:

  • to be seen as doing what they reasonably can to combat climate change,

  • to be innovative as their business models will be challenged,

  • to anticipate the regulatory risks, directly or indirectly,

  • to respond to owner and stakeholder pressures.

DNV is uniquely positioned to help companies and organisations understand and manage these risks and pressures through our climate change expertise, technological know-how and independence.

Our customers in the carbon markets recognise that both the business and the risks associated with climate change are international. We have a strong global presence providing local and global capabilities to deal with risk, transparency and trust issues where they occur.

Carbon strategy and policy services

Our carbon strategy and policy services gives companies a competitive advantage by providing economically and environmentally sound solutions to evolving climate change policy, both in GHG regulated and non-regulated sectors.

Energy and carbon management

Energy use is responsible for 82% of the GHG emissions in the developed world and 59% in the developing world. It is obvious that effective energy management is necessary to reverse the effects of climate change.

Carbon market advisory

Our carbon market support services provide companies with the tools and intelligence to effectively position themselves for future carbon regimes in the face of uncertainty.

Carbon credit validation and verification

Carbon credit validation and verification is a third party service related to the compliance market, regulating emission allowances and offsets according to the Kyoto Protocol’s flexible mechanisms , the European Directive on Emissions Trading (EU ETS) or voluntary emission reductions.

Environment and climate

The considerable shortage of expertise and competent people has become one of the major challenges for the carbon market and its players. To respond to this challenge, we offer a range of training courses.
