SGS Celebrates World Accreditation Day 2022

June 08, 2022

Established by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), World Accreditation Day (WAD) is a global initiative to promote the value of accreditation.

WAD 2022 focuses on how accreditation and conformity assessment provide global solutions for global issues.

Essential to the campaign, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide clear objectives for the world to focus on now and in the future. Two of the core elements are simultaneous economic growth and environmental performance, linked by a common desire for sustainable delivery of both objectives.

The IAF and ILAC partnership illustrates that seemingly differing focuses can unite to achieve positive action.
