Our annual report 2008 is now available. It addresses how DNV steps up to some of the most pressing challenges for business and society.
In addition to providing a financial and operational review of the year, the annual report 2008 gives a short and concise overview of the role of DNV as an independent foundation, the services we provide and the challenges we address for our stakeholders – now and in the future. In other words, the report will give you an overview of who we are, what we do, and how we do it.
The future is not cancelled
2008 was in many ways a turbulent year. Full order books, souring energy prices and a fierce fight for talent at the beginning of the year were replaced with financial turmoil and the beginning of a global recession towards the end of the year.
Everyone needs to address these new challenges, but not at the cost of losing sight of the future. Some challenges will remain also after the world economy recovers, like for example climate change. And those who mange the immediate risks properly will be better prepared to seize opportunities later.
Being there for our customers
DNV came out of 2008 in a better position than ever to help our customers operate a sustainable business and improve their operations. We delivered strong financial results and increased our focus on environmental and corporate responsibility related services.
The winners of tomorrow are those who manage the current situation by improving operations, while continuing to address the long term issues: Climate change, ethical business, corporate responsibility and safe operations.
