Detailed description:
Bureau Veritas was established in 1828 “to seek out the truth and tell it without fear or favor.” The allegorical figure of Truth, represented by a woman emerging from a well, was chosen as the logo.
The Bureau Veritas emblem showed a young woman seated on the edge of a well with her arms raised. In her right hand is a torch, in her left a mirror. Her left foot rests on a globe.
On the ground are a pair of scales, Mercury’s wand (a caduceus), and a rooster with its eyes raised towards the woman. The horizon shows a three-masted vessel, sails billowing, passing across a bay.
The new logo, redrawn in 1990 in a pure heraldic style, adheres to the same symbolism.
Do you know how Bureau Veritas is organised? Do you know our eight different Businesses? Each of these 8 businesses – Marine, Industry, Inspection & In-Service Verification, Health Safety & Environment, Construction, Certification, Consumer Products and Government Services & International Trade - are committed to a specific set of industries. Each offers a range of specific services - in the areas of asset management, certification, classification, consulting, inspection/audit, testing and analysis and training… - designed to match your needs.
As an operator in the maritime industry, you know that global shipping efficiency depends largely on the free movement of ships and capital, supported by international standards which have to be set, recognised and maintained.
Expert bodies such as Bureau Veritas, with international outreach in ship classification and related services such as certification, training and consultancy, can help achieve this, and thus bring benefits to ship-owners, shipbuilders, shipyards, equipment manufacturers, insurers, brokers, bankers and Flag States.
We can help you develop your activities while keeping in line with relevant quality, health and safety, and environmental requirements of the maritime industry.
