Lloyd's Register

Safety has been at the heart of our work since 1760 and we invest our time, money and resources to fulfil Lloyd’s Register’s mission: to protect life and property and advance transportation and engineering education and research. Through our impartial advice, broader knowledge, deeper experience and closer relationships we help ensure a safer world.

We provide independent assurance to companies operating high-risk, capital-intensive assets in the energy and transportation sectors, to enhance the safety of life, property and the environment. This helps our clients to create safe, responsible and sustainable supply chains.

The Lloyd’s Register Group is one of the world leaders in assessing business processes and products to internationally recognised standards. The standards are either those of major independent bodies or ones that we have developed ourselves. From design and new build to in-service operations and decommissioning, we aim to deliver complete lifecycle and risk management solutions to help ensure the safety, integrity and operational performance of assets and systems.

Our clients are typically managing large-scale, high-value assets where the cost of mistakes can be very high, both financially and in terms of the impact on local communities and the environment. In such a setting, organisations need advice and support they can trust.

Our key area of business

Our clients range from large multinational companies to small local businesses; from shipowners and giants in the energy market to those who deliver goods to shops and homes. So many of the everyday things people rely on have benefited from our help. Many companies in the sectors we serve recognise the value of working with us and trust us to help them improve safety, quality and business performance.

We provide independent assurance and expert advice across a range of sectors related to transportation and energy.

Marine

Our Marine business principally involves classification of ships, which sets standards of quality and reliability during their design, construction and operation. As well as carrying out statutory inspections for national administrations, required by international shipping conventions and codes, we also help ship owners and operators understand risks and improve business performance.

Transportation

Our Transportation teams offer a complete range of engineering, safety, risk and management systems services to the land transport sector.

Energy

We provide compliance, technical consulting and business solutions to companies of all sizes and from all sectors within the energy industry - upstream downstream, power and manufacturing. Our Energy business helps clients to improve the safety, reliability and performance of their assets.

Management systems

Our expertise in business assurance and management systems is also world class. LRQA is the world's leading international supplier of business assurance. Our aim is to help clients use management systems to reduce risk and improve their business performance, as well as providing certification of compliance with international management system standards

Our mission

....and vision

Year by year we will continuously improve in helping our clients ensure supply chains are safe, responsible and sustainable.

We secure for the benefit of the community, high technical standards of design, manufacture, construction, maintenance, operation and performance, for the purpose of enhancing the safety of life and property at sea, on land and in the air.

And we advance public education in transportation and other engineering and technological disciplines by conducting and supporting research, the publication of useful results of such research and by providing training and related activities.

Our vision - year by year we will continuously improve in helping our clients ensure supply chains are safe, responsible and sustainable.

A broader perspective

With years of experience and our leading edge expertise we take a broader perspective to add value in the short and long term. We help our clients face today’s challenges and plan for tomorrow and beyond. We believe safety, sustainability and performance are linked. They are an intrinsic part of our holistic approach when working with our clients – for a safer world.

250 years of service

In 2010 we celebrated 250 years of quality and service.

Since 1760, Lloyd’s Register has worked to enhance the safety of life, property and the environment, at sea, on land and in the air, helping its clients to ensure safe, responsible and sustainable supply chains.

In 2010 we celebrated 250 years of independent assurance. In that time the organisation has seen remarkable technological developments, including the advent of steam propulsion, computers, nuclear power and gigantic assets, and has itself undergone a dramatic expansion.

Colleagues were encouraged to look to the future throughout 2010 and to give something back to their local communities with a special commemorative campaign. The LR250 initiative gave everyone in the organisation the opportunity to work on a project that will benefit their local community. Some projects are continuing in 2011. Visit the LR250 website, www.lr250.org, to read more about the campaign.
