SGS Health Science has once again been recognized for its outstanding operations, receiving five 2023 CRO Leadership Awards in the categories of Capabilities, Compatibility, Expertise, Quality and Reliability.
This is the seventh consecutive year that SGS Health Science has won a CRO Leadership Award, and the second consecutive year that it has received an award in all categories for both Overall and Big Pharma. SGS Health Science also scored above average in two categories – Compatibility and Reliability – making it a 2023 CRO Leadership Award Champion.
The CRO Leadership Awards
The CRO Leadership Awards provide Clinical Leader and Life Science Leader's readers with accurate and reliable customer feedback to assist them in choosing a reputable CRO partner.
Qualified industry decision-makers that have partnered with health science CROs in the past 18 months provide detailed feedback via Industry Standard Research's (ISR) annual CRO Quality Benchmarking survey. This year, 46 contract research organizations were assessed on over 20 performance metrics. Ensuring that survey responses are based on actual involvement with CROs and clear experiential data, winners are judged by their customers as having exceeded their expectations.
The 2023 awards also recognized companies that scored above the weighted average in each of the core categories. SGS Health Science has been recognized as a top performer in the categories of Compatibility and Reliability.
"It is a true pleasure conducting our Phase 1 study together with SGS. Most strikingly, throughout the organization there is a culture of proactivity and ‘can do’ attitude as the team is always very responsive, and focused on solutions and opportunities instead of barriers. Congratulations to SGS for the well-deserved award!" said Anne Louise Kjølbye, PhD, MBA, Chief Development Officer, Cytoki Pharma.
Oliver Coppey, EVP Health and Nutrition, SGS, was thrilled to hear the news. "SGS Health Science continues to push the boundaries and deliver untold value to our clients," he said.
