Helping the Community: LR Celebrates 250 Years of Service

As we celebrate, Lloyd's Register colleagues around the world are being encouraged to look to the future throughout 2010 and to give something back to their local communities with a special commemorative campaign.

Lloyd's Register and RMA, Inc. are proud to be able to support Backyard Harvest.

Backyard Harvest aims to share the edible abundance of the Santa Barbara community with those that need it the most. Santa Barbara’s ideal climate and plentiful resources typically lead to a profusion of food that often results in excess. Backyard Harvest serves to capture that abundance and redirect it into the food system by donating it to in-need residents. This recycling of food essentially converts waste into needed nutrition while simultaneously addressing the numerous ecological benefits of local food production. The resulting synergy of social, environmental and health benefits reflects the diverse and vital role Backyard Harvest serves in the enhancement of our community.

Since 1760, Lloyd’s Register has worked to enhance the safety of life, property and the environment, at sea, on land and in the air, helping its clients to ensure safe, responsible and sustainable supply chains.  This year, we celebrate 250 years of independent assurance.

As we celebrate, Lloyd's Register colleagues around the world are being encouraged to look to the future throughout 2010 and to give something back to their local communities with a special commemorative campaign. The LR250 initiative gives everyone in the organization the opportunity to work on a project that will benefit their local community, and will run throughout 2010.
