SGS has been appointed as the exclusive partner for the Certificate Verification Service on the HKTDC Sourcing platform, strengthening buyer confidence in verified Hong Kong and global suppliers.
Under this appointment, SGS has been working with HKTDC to verify key documents such as product testing reports, system certifications, and more submitted by suppliers. Leveraging its extensive expertise in testing, inspection, and certification, SGS verifies documents, and verified details with validation dates will be displayed on each supplier’s store page in their HKTDC Sourcing Platform — enabling buyers to quickly assess supplier reliability and compliance.
In addition, the scope has been expanded to include sustainability related certifications, helping businesses showcase their commitment to responsible sourcing and environmental stewardship. This initiative enhances transparency, aligns with global sustainability standards, and strengthens the foundation for a more responsible and resilient global supply chain.
Beyond verification, SGS has actively contributed to HKTDC’s NewsBites sessions, sharing expert insights on regulatory trends, product safety, and sustainability developments. By combining SGS’s technical expertise and global knowledge with HKTDC’s extensive sourcing network, this collaboration not only empowers SMEs with valuable insights but also enhances supplier credibility, expands international reach, and advances responsible, sustainable trade worldwide.
