SGS Becomes Key EcoVadis Global Consulting Partner to Advance ESG Ratings and Performance
Becoming an Accredited Core Consulting Partner allows SGS to significantly expand upon an established local collaboration, now elevated to a global scale to help organizations complete sustainability assessments, review scores and improve ESG, ethics and sustainable procurement practices.
With over 30 years of sustainability leadership, SGS leverages its global network of IMPACT NOW for sustainability experts to help companies navigate the EcoVadis rating methodology. As a globally approved partner, SGS offers tailored training, strategic advisory and operational support to enhance ESG practices and drive measurable impact.
Neil Willings, Global Head of Sustainability and Supply Chain at SGS, said: “We are thrilled to launch this key partnership that not only reflects our ESG engagement, including seven consecutive years of EcoVadis Gold Rating, but also legitimizes the support we offer our clients to achieve similar goals.
“Our global network of experts is ready to support companies on their EcoVadis journey, helping them translate ESG ambitions into tangible results.”
The SGS-EcoVadis partnership will empower organizations to:
• Enhance the visibility and credibility of their sustainability efforts
• Meet growing stakeholder and client expectations
• Identify areas for improvement and mitigate ESG-related risks
• Strengthen brand reputation and trust
• Differentiate from competitors
• Access sustainable financing
Annette Gevaert, SVP Alliances and Strategic Initiatives at EcoVadis, added: “Accredited Consulting Partners are carefully selected based on their experience and expertise, and must complete rigorous training on EcoVadis’ methodology and assessment process through the EcoVadis Academy.
“To qualify, partners must demonstrate a deep understanding of local environmental, ethical and human rights regulations and issues, and have completed the EcoVadis assessment for their own business.”
This expanded global agreement builds upon that foundation, offering a comprehensive approach to ESG performance improvement and enabling SGS to support clients across all industries, starting with 10 key countries across Asia, North America and Europe.
More than 150,000 organizations across 250 industries have been rated by EcoVadis. For more information and to join them, visit www.sgs.com or email hk.ba@sgs.com.
