Protecting Human and Ecosystem Health

January 13, 2025

We are harnessing our decades of world-leading testing, inspection and certification (TIC) experience and sustainability leadership to launch Nature services under our new IMPACT NOW for sustainability suite.

Protecting nature has countless benefits, from conserving biodiversity and securing food and water resources to preventing disease and building resilience against climate change.

As a trusted sustainability partner, we present our all-encompassing IMPACT NOW Nature services, designed to support organizations’ preservation efforts, from improving farming and fishing to eliminating waste and transitioning to net zero. The new pillar focuses on managing environmental risk and combating forever chemicals, and includes:

Environmental testing and assessment:

  • Soil, air and water testing
  • Environmental DNA (E-DNA) testing and monitoring
  • Environmental due diligence and impact assessments

Forestry supply chain traceability and assurance:

  • EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) compliance
  • Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification

Combatting forever chemicals:

  • Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)
  • Microplastics monitoring and remediation

Géraldine Picaud, CEO of SGS, expressed her delight with the new Nature pillar: “Utilizing our sustainability and TIC industry leadership position, our experts worldwide are proud to introduce our Nature services within the IMPACT NOW for sustainability portfolio.

“This comprehensive offering unites new services with proven solutions, empowering organizations of all sizes to become nature-positive and safeguard both human and ecosystem health.”

As sustainability evolves rapidly, we listen to organizations’ concerns daily. Our experts worldwide, equipped with over 30 years of sustainability leadership, are ready to guide clients from complexity to actionable clarity.
