Lloyd's Register

General information

Lloyd’s Register is unique.

We are working together for a safer world. With our clients to give them confidence that their assets and businesses are safe, sustainable and dependable; and working together as a team across our businesses and global network to deliver excellent customer service.

Our reputation as an independent body – with safety, integrity and high standards as guiding principles – has been built up over 255 years.

Our independence from shareholder dividends and government influence means that we provide impartial and informed advice that you can trust, free from compromise, free from prejudice.

Our clients face continued pressure for transparency, environmental stewardship, corporate responsibility, profitability and safe, sustainable operations.

Our obligation is to support our clients in meetings these demands – with intelligent, practical and expert advice to help them build truly a sustainable business.

As an independent third-party, we need to keep at the forefront of technology and increasingly understand the fundamental science and academic analysis behind new technologies.

Through this we can assess the risk of new technology before it is applied to engineering solutions, helping to ensure that people are safe and that essential assets perform as required.

Our reputation for technical excellence relies on retaining, developing and attracting the best engineering and technical talent, with some 8,000 employees in 78 countries supporting clients worldwide.

Through the investment of around £100 million in two global technology centres, in the UK and Singapore, we are developing and supporting the innovations that will play a vital role in the immediate and long-term future of shipping and energy.

Our compliance, risk and technical consultancy services give clients confidence that their assets and businesses are safe, sustainable and dependable.

Through these services we support a significant part of the Lloyd’s Register Foundation’s charitable objectives, and generate the profits to fund science, engineering and technology research for public benefit worldwide.

The Lloyd’s Register Foundation also funds education, inspiring and supporting the next generation into careers in science, engineering and technology, from school through to university and post-graduate research.

In sum, we are working together for a safer world.
