LRQA and its cybersecurity and ESG acquisitions move to a single brand identity. These exciting changes are centred around connecting clients with the enhanced package of services now available across LRQA to help manage risk across their operations.
As an independent business, accelerating growth is one of LRQA’s biggest priorities. We want to ensure LRQA is the partner of choice for both new and existing clients, and our clients recently told us that they want a partner to help manage risk across their operations. From compliance to supply chain transformation, cybersecurity and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), we have listened to that feedback and have taken the opportunity to review our service portfolio and operating model to align with this new era of risk.
In January 2023, we strengthened our portfolio by bringing together our capabilities in the key risk management areas of Assessment, Advisory, Inspection Services, and Cybersecurity. Under this new operating model, our ESG and sustainability specialists in ELEVATE (acquired in 2022), now sit in both Assessment and Advisory. Our cybersecurity specialists in Nettitude (acquired in 2018), now reside under Cybersecurity.
From June 2023, we have also started to move to a single brand identity for all parts of our business, ensuring that we are one LRQA and offering our clients one consistently high level of service across a wide-ranging portfolio. We have now started the gradual retirement of the ELEVATE brand, which will be replaced with the LRQA visual identity. We have also now launched the ‘LRQA Nettitude’ name for our cybersecurity portfolio area, which aligns with the LRQA brand. In order to protect the integrity of their secure domains, we have retained the Nettitude name.
This is an important milestone for LRQA and our family of brands. We are seizing a unique opportunity together to become the leading global assurance partner
Paul Butcher, LRQA Chief Executive Officer, said:
“This is an important milestone for LRQA and our family of brands. We are seizing a unique opportunity together to become the leading global assurance partner, with particular focus on ESG and cybersecurity services. We are rapidly accelerating our growth strategy and delivering a market-leading proposition to our clients. We want to be the leading force in risk management, and I look forward to further strengthening our brand reputation and portfolio as a combined team under one visual identity.”
As we move to a single brand, some assets and content will change more quickly than others as we take a phased approach. Nothing will change in terms of the teams that clients and partners work with, or the services you receive.
These exciting changes are all centred around connecting clients with the enhanced package of services now available across LRQA. Together, we hope each of our portfolio areas offer a compelling proposition to our clients.
