Lloyd’s Register (LR) has signed a global platinum partnership with the Energy Industries Council (EIC), the world-leading trade association for the energy supply chain, strengthening its position across international markets and major industry events.  

The agreement marks the first time LR has joined the EIC at platinum level, providing the organisation with a prominent presence at leading global industry gatherings including ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi, the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston and the World Future Energy Summit in 2026. 

Through this new platinum-level partnership, LR will support EIC trade delegations and facilitate networking initiatives, gaining access to senior-level business forums focused on decarbonisation, financing and regulatory reform.  
 
For EIC’s member companies – totalling more than 950 across the globe – the partnership will bring Lloyd’s Register’s assurance and risk expertise directly into trade missions, market intelligence briefings and supply chain forums.  

LR will feature alongside EIC at several major international events over the next 12 months, including Hydrogen Technology Expo Europe, the World Nuclear Exhibition and WindEnergy Hamburg. The company will also support EIC’s trade missions to emerging energy markets such as Mozambique, Guyana and Nigeria. 

Together, LR and EIC will support the global energy supply chain to de-risk complex projects, open new export routes and contribute to making energy transition investments more bankable and deliverable. 

Sean Van der Post, LR’s Global Energy Director, said: “Working with the EIC gives us a powerful platform to engage with energy leaders and policymakers, helping shape the discussions that will define the sector’s future. We are committed to supporting the supply chain to explore new technologies, investment opportunities and frameworks that accelerate progress towards net zero.” 

EIC chief executive Stuart Broadley said: “Lloyd’s Register has been a trusted technical authority across the ocean and energy economies for generations. As our Platinum Global Partner, LR will sit at the heart of our global pavilions and trade delegations, bringing world-class assurance and risk expertise into the conversations that matter most to the energy supply chain. Together we will connect more companies to real export opportunities and help make energy-transition projects safer, more investable and faster to deliver.”
