SGS has launched IMPACT NOW for sustainability, a new service that provides tailored solutions to help organizations meet compliance requirements at whatever point they are on their sustainability journey.
One of the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification companies, SGS has announced the launch of IMPACT NOW for sustainability, a new concept in the delivery of sustainability services designed to address ever-changing market demands and the urgent needs of the planet.
The need for sustainability is now undeniable. The impact of industry on the environment, communities and the individual can no longer be ignored, and all stakeholders – from regulators to consumers – want to see positive action on climate change, biodiversity loss and social impact. SGS explains it is responding to that call with IMPACT NOW for sustainability.
SGS points out it recognizes that every organization is at a different stage in its sustainability journey. Whether an organization is just getting started or is looking to optimize its existing sustainability initiatives, IMPACT NOW for sustainability provides tailored solutions to assist companies in achieving their specific sustainability goals.
Géraldine Picaud, CEO of SGS, says: “IMPACT NOW for sustainability is more than just a concept. We are addressing the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste. Embedding sustainability into every action we take and every service we provide contributes positively to society and achieving a nature positive and pollution free world.”
IMPACT NOW for sustainability consolidates SGS’s sustainability offerings under four strategic pillars: climate, circularity, nature and ESG assurance, according to the announcement. Through these pillars, SGS offers trusted compliance solutions that directly help businesses address the key environmental and social challenges impacting the planet:
• Climate – greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions and the energy transition towards net-zero
• Circularity – reducing plastic pollution and enabling circularity through sustainable design, material optimization, recyclability and effective waste management
• Nature – environmental risk management, including contamination (PFAS, microplastics, etc.), to curb biodiversity loss and ecosystem damage
• ESG assurance – aligning skills and strategy with regulatory and corporate objectives requirements to ensure accountability, accuracy and consistency in ESG disclosures.
With new regulations mandating ESG disclosures and a growing emphasis on sustainable processes and products, SGS states that IMPACT NOW for sustainability provides a comprehensive platform where businesses can find the tailored solutions they need to enhance sustainability and meet compliance requirements.
