Assurance Services

Assurance services from SGS give your stakeholders confidence in the high standards of your operations.

Certification against the new ISO 9001 or ISO 14001 industry standards will demonstrate your organization’s adherence to best practice in quality and/or environmental management. Expecting the same high certification standards from your suppliers and others in your supply chain helps you to manage risk, operate faster and drive efficiencies.

Assurance services are independent third party assessments of your business activities, demonstrating that they are performed to specified levels or standards. Audit and assessment conducted by SGS demonstrate that:

Best practice systems are in place to manage quality, risk, safety and sustainability
Efficient use of resources means your business or suppliers are reducing costs wherever possible
Your procedures allow for growth, for you and your supply chain, as part of a long-term business strategy
