Sustainability within Risktec
In our business of risk and safety management we have a marked opportunity to make a positive impact on society by working in partnership with our clients to make the world more sustainable for all. We have conducted an extensive analysis of how we ourselves meet, and how we help our clients to meet, the United Nations’ 17 sustainable development goals. As a result of this analysis, we have prioritised several key goals to focus upon as part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability.
These commitments are a call to action for our whole organisation. They will ensure accountability and help us measure our contribution over time. Through our actions we aim to engineer a better future for our planet and its people. Risktec is proud to be on this journey, and I look forward to seeing our progress of both our own activities and those of our clients over the coming years.

Our sustainability strategy
At Risktec we truly believe that companies will only be successful in the long term if they incorporate sustainability and social responsibility into the way they manage their business.
This means two things to us. Firstly, through the services we offer, our mission is to help our clients, and hence society as whole, meet their evolving energy and infrastructure needs in a safe, sustainable, and ethical way. Secondly, through our internal policies and practices, we are committed to the responsibility we have as a company to meet the needs of people, society, and the environment on a sustainable basis.
We implement best practices and ensure global compliance with human rights and labour standards of equality; occupational safety and mental health and well-being; safeguarding; environmental protection; anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and ethical business standards.
Through the actions of our people, we support our clients with the development of clean energy technologies, ensure diversity and inclusion in our operations, and support local community initiatives. We seek opportunities to be part of proactive change which will make a positive difference for the future.
As part of the TÜV Rheinland Group, Risktec supports and contributes to the overall sustainability strategy and goals of TÜV Rheinland. For 2023, TÜV Rheinland achieved Platinum status from the world’s leading provider of sustainability ratings, EcoVadis. This ranks TÜV Rheinland in the top 1 percent of the companies evaluated. EcoVadis assesses the sustainability performance of companies in four domains: environment, labor rights and human rights, ethics, and procurement. The rating is one of the most meaningful audits of corporate sustainability performance worldwide.
In addition, at Risktec we have selected key Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations relevant to our operations on which to focus our efforts.
