Our culture

We strive to make the world a better place, and value clients and people who join us in this initiative

RINA North America culture

At RINA North America, we believe culture is what holds us together and allows us to enjoy what we do and with whom we share our valued time.  

We promote a culture that inspires innovation, where people are empowered and respected. We celebrate our differences and place a positive value on diversity in the workplace. 

We are an international, digitally connected, and multi-cultural company. We understand that diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental to fostering employee engagement, driving productivity, enhancing innovation and fueling growth. These values are clearly demonstrated in our daily business practices and in the collaborative way we engage with each other, our customers and our partners. 

Continuous learning 

Continuous learning is one of the pillars of our learning strategy.  

At RINA North America, we believe that innovation, change and people empowerment can only be achieved through a culture that unreservedly promotes lifelong learning.  

That’s why we are continuously working to make RINA Digital Academy more efficient, stimulating and user friendly, with always up-to-date content. 

Professional organizations 

We believe that frequent and active employee participation in professional organizations will help advance the career and network connections of our professionals, as well as our stature in the industry. On an individual level, these activities foster professional development and the sharing of best practices and trends in various technical fields. 

Participation includes attendance at society meetings and functions; participation in seminars, conferences, or workshops; and subscribing to and reading society literature and publications.  

Charitable giving 

We recognize and embrace our responsibilities when it comes to corporate citizenship. Corporate donations serve as one way to generously help nonprofit organizations that are important to our employees and impact our communities. Since 2014, more than $150,000 has been donated by RINA North America to a variety of charitable organizations through corporate activities including the following: 

- Annual Holiday Card program, where clients and employees are asked to vote on the distribution of donation funds among a pool of non-profit organizations 

- Give Program, where the company matches employee donations and supports charities that are nominated by our employees 

We strive to make the world a better place, and value clients and employees who join us in this initiative. 

Creating infinite personal value within a limited lifetime is my ultimate goal. I am honored to stand on this stage, representing RINA's oldest functional sector, The Marine Sector. Loyalty, professionalism, dedication, enthusiasm, and teamwork are the pillars of our existence in this industry. We continuously strive to enhance our capabilities to embrace new challenges. While contributing to the company's business value, we remain steadfast in our sacred duty to safeguard seafarers, vessels, and oceans. We have every reason to be proud of ourselves.

Moving from another Classification Society, I enjoy the RINA culture and supportive approach for employees. All of the departments and offices work as one organism, and it is like a breath of fresh air for me. The smart working policy is one of the best benefits and allows us to have a better commuting time and creates mental powerhouses in big cities. No conflict, mutual respect, and good teamwork – what else do we need to make our working hours a great part of your life?
