Energy Carbon and Ecodesign Services

OPTIMIZE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND PROFIT WITH SGS SERVICES 

Energy prices remain at very high levels all over the world, which results in rising production costs. At the same time low energy efficiency means companies may be both struggling to survive and contributing to environmental damage.

Today energy management, improving its use and reducing consumption, is your key to business success. To meet these needs and China’s national standards we offer energy efficiency services that assess energy management systems, from a one-off assessment to one-stop shop organization-wide solutions.

HOW CAN YOU LESSEN THE IMPACT OF YOUR ORGANIZATION’S PRODUCTS AND EVERYDAY ACTIVITY ON THE ENVIRONMENT?

Carbon footprint, offsetting and sustainability are just some of the issues consumers expect manufacturers, retailers and organizations to consider when developing new products and services. Reducing the environmental impact of your products resonates with shoppers, stakeholders, NGOs, retailers and regulators alike. How an organization conducts itself and its plans to protect the planet’s future are coming under increasing scrutiny.
