Business Performance

Industries & Environment
We empower organizations to enhance safety, sustainability and operational efficiency by ensuring the integrity and reliability of equipment and processes. As industries transition toward greener practices, our solutions help organizations create a more sustainable future.
Leading the way in PFAS testing
Long valued for their unique properties, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a diverse group of chemicals, that are now recognized as persistent, toxic and harmful to human health. We continue to expand our PFAS testing, delivering solutions that help businesses meet regulatory requirements while protecting public health.
We supported a pivotal study in New Jersey measuring PFAS in water, soil and fish that contributed towards fish consumption advisories that protect at-risk consumers.
We validated LC-MS/MS methods to analyze PFAS in waste incineration emissions in Germany by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).


Natural Resources
Our global network of trusted, independent experts provides essential services to the agricultural, mining, oil, gas and chemical sectors, enabling organizations to reduce risks, make informed decisions and advance sustainability goals across their supply chains.
Driving innovation through automation in laboratory operations
Across our laboratory network, efficiency and innovation go hand in hand. In Australia, automating the pXRF process has transformed soil sample analysis, boosting monthly throughput while reducing manual tasks. Meanwhile, in Canada, our automated crushing system and robotic sample delivery have streamlined operations, freeing up valuable resources.
Our adoption of PhotonAssay technology across geographies ensures faster, eco-friendly testing, underscoring our commitment to sustainability. These advancements enable our experts to focus on high-value services, strengthening our dedication to cuttingedge solutions. With every step in our digital transformation, we continue to set new benchmarks in productivity and sustainability.


Connectivity & Products
We are the experts who support brands, manufacturers, retailers and governments across the supply chain with the performance, safety, security and quality of their products and services. We help make products better and safer for an increasingly connected world.
Certifying trust and product excellence for Samsung OLED displays
In the competitive B2B display module market, demonstrating product excellence without objective evaluation can risk greenwashing and lead to consumer confusion. To address this, we tested and awarded Samsung’s OLED laptop display panels with Hazardous Substances Assessed (HSA) certification under the SGS Environmental Claim Certification Scheme (commonly known as SGS green marks). We evaluated over 300 substances, including heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ensuring transparency and accountability.
Our comprehensive evaluation alongside rigorous testing, conducted according to the Environmental Claim Certification Scheme (ECCS) requirements, enabled Samsung to highlight its commitment to environmental responsibility. By reducing greenwashing risks, SGS green marks empower consumers to make informed, sustainable choices, fostering trust and benefiting society.


Health & Nutrition
We assure quality, safety and sustainability in the health, wellness and nutrition industries, helping our customers to meet stringent standards throughout their supply chain and, ultimately, improving the quality of life in society.
Enhancing food safety through advanced contaminant analysis
We are at the forefront of addressing food contamination challenges, particularly mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOSH/MOAH), which are under scrutiny due to potential health risks. With harmonized limits of quantification and new regulations expected in 2025, reliable testing methods are essential.
To meet this demand, we utilize advanced two-dimensional chromatography (LC-GCxGC-TOF-MS-FID), providing precise quantification and confirmation of contaminants to ensure compliance with evolving standards.
Every month, we ensure the safety of 1,500 food samples through rigorous testing. Our innovative methods not only protect consumers but also advance toxicological research and monitoring projects, fostering trust in global food supply chains.


Business Assurance
We have the global expertise and knowledge, and the people, processes and tools to help organizations improve their results, manage risk, comply with regulatory changes, adopt best practice and meet increasingly stringent sustainability requirements.
Driving workplace equity with EDGE Certification
Organizations face challenges in achieving workplace diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I). As an approved EDGE certification body, we offer globally recognized audits and certifications to help companies foster equitable workplace practices. By evaluating representation, pay equity, career flows and inclusiveness, we empower organizations to address biases and build inclusive cultures.
At SGS, we pride ourselves on being a trusted partner along the DE&I journey. We provide clear, transparent guidance, making audit requirements easy to understand and implement. With a flexible, supportive approach, we work closely with you to achieve positive audit outcomes, helping to create more inclusive and equitable workplaces.
