We are SGS – the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company.
We are recognized as the global benchmark for quality and integrity. Our 93,000 employees operate a network of 2,600 offices and laboratories, working together to enable a better, safer and more interconnected world.
Wherever you are, whatever your industry, our experts worldwide provide specialized solutions to make your business faster, simpler and more efficient.
Sustainability is one of our six business principles – the overarching beliefs and behaviors that guide all our decisions. Each business principle is underpinned by a policy statement that defines our commitments. Then, more detailed operational policies describe the rules that must be observed by our employees and subcontractors.
Sustainability is embedded in our culture and the way we do business. We use our scale and expertise to enable a more responsible, balanced and sustainable future. As sustainability leaders, we are committed to promoting best-in-class practices in our sector and beyond.
We are committed to adding value to society. With more than 93,000 employees, operations around the world, an extensive global supply chain and services provided in all sectors, we are determined to make a positive, long-lasting impact.
Value is created through not only our direct operations and supply chain, but also through our services. Our diverse service portfolio and geographic spread make it extremely complex to evaluate the impact of our services at a global level. We are currently developing a methodology for carrying out this analysis. Once finalized and implemented, we expect to see a significant increase in our value to society.
Protecting the planet is a social, economic, ethical and environmental imperative. As a recognized sustainability leader, we are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint and delivering sustainable value to society.
Our climate change strategy includes three pillars:
– Reducing energy consumption at source.
– Using renewable energy whenever possible.
– Offsetting residual emissions
People are at the very center of our business and the key to our success. All our efforts are focused on addressing the needs of our diverse workforce and unlocking their potential while we support the communities where we work and live.
At the core of everything we do, lies our commitment to the highest standards of integrity and professional excellence. We strive to maintain these standards in the way we do business.
