The SGS Sustainability Solutions Framework

To highlight our commitment to sustainability we have introduced our Sustainability Solutions, a comprehensive range of end-to-end services that helps organizations mitigate risks in their supply chains, implement better, safer and more efficient processes, address stakeholder concerns and accomplish their sustainability goals. SGS Sustainability Solutions are framed across six sustainability pillars: Sustainable Energy, Resources, Infrastructure, Production, Living, and Business Practices. These pillars are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Principles for Responsible Investment.

By unifying our sustainability services under one framework, we give our customers greater visibility of our services that add Value to Society across supply chains. This also enables us to quantify and track revenue, helping us to measure the Value to Society that these services provide.
