Global Compact agreement with Cosco
DNV has signed an agreement with Cosco, the world’s largest shipowner. Under their Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), DNV will provide services to support Cosco’s sustainable business developments under the United Nations Global Compact.
The programme will cover the ten core principles of the United Nations Global Compact initiative which was established by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 2000. The Global Compact is supported by over a thousand companies and international labour and civil society organisations around the world.
“This work will equip both Cosco and DNV with a shared understanding of the Cosco risk picture,” said DNV´s CEO Henrik O. Madsen.
The agreement was signed after Henrik O. Madsen granted three certificates, recognising Cosco’s modern enterprise management systems; and certification to the ISO 9001 quality standard, the ISO 14001 environmental standard and the OHSAS 18001 occupational health and safety standard.
