Strategy 27

1. Sustainability transition
2. Digital acceleration
3. Nearshoring of supply chains

The Group will capitalize on the strong 4% to 5% underlying annual momentum of the CHF 190 billion Testing, Inspection & Certification industry and invest in segments and regions where greater opportunities exist, such as sustainability and digital services as well as in North America.

1. Accountability, performance & cash flow culture
2. Organization
3. Corporate simplification

SGS will implement a cost-disciplined operating model and a corporate-light structure. The simplification is expected to create cost savings of CHF 100 million in organizational efficiencies and CHF 50 million in procurement savings resulting in a new run rate reached at the end of 2025.

1. Financial targets
2. Capital allocation
3. Ambitious corporate sustainability KPIs

SGS will ensure disciplined value creation maintaining a solid investment grade credit rating, which allows some significant headroom for potential additional debt drawings. Together with strong multi-year free cash flow this will allow the company to fund growth through accretive and synergistic acquisitions and ensure that SGS continues to offer attractive shareholder remuneration.
