Harnessing over 250 years of maritime safety excellence, we are committed to establishing and championing standards that protect lives and livelihoods.
Today the world faces new threats to safety both at sea and on land, from the climate crisis and unregulated technologies to infrastructure no longer fit for purpose for a growing population.
We reduce these risks by investing in research, skills and innovation, forming ambitious partnerships and funding projects to build a safer world for all.
We have a unique structure; we own a significant trading company, Lloyd’s Register (LR). We share the same mission and work together to make the world a safer place.
To protect people from harm, ensuring the infrastructure that we depend on for day-to-day living is safe for society both now and in the future, and ensuring the world has the right skills and education required to keep people safe remain the driving force behind everything we do.
To be known worldwide as a leading supporter of maritime, infrastructure and skills related research, training and education that makes a real difference in improving the safety of people and the critical infrastructure that modern society relies. By aligning our work with local needs, evidenced through robust and credible data and insight, we act as a trusted convenor that facilitates new discussions, pilots new innovations and ways of working. This enables us to collectively gather insight from underrepresented voices about their perceptions and experience of safety, to drive impact in the areas of the world that need it the most.
