We help people achieve what’s possible by empowering trust. Businesses, industries, governments, regulatory authorities and the public put their trust in us so they can make smarter decisions.

Our mission is working for a safer world. These principles drive every decision we make:

• To promote safe, secure and sustainable living and working environments for people by the application of science, hazard-based safety engineering and data acumen
• To support the production and use of products which are physically and environmentally safe and to apply our efforts to prevent or reduce loss of life and property
• To advance safety science through research and investigation
• To concentrate our efforts and resources on public safety in those areas where we can make valuable contributions
• To work with integrity and focus on quality to enhance the trust conveyed by our certification marks and services
• To charge fair prices that allow us to meet our obligations, sustain our growth, and invest in safety science and education
• To invest in our people and to encourage our people to invest in themselves
• To be a good example of corporate citizenship and social responsibility
