Sgs's reported carbon emissions

SGS's commitment to climate action is evident in its comprehensive emissions reporting and ambitious reduction targets. In 2025, the company reported a total of approximately 719.1 million kg CO2e. This breaks down into about 99.5 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, approximately 8.0 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and a significant 611.6 million kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. SGS has set clear targets aligned with climate science. A key near-term goal is to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 46.2% by 2030, using a 2019 baseline year. Furthermore, the company aims to cut absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 28% by 2030, also from a 2019 baseline. Looking further ahead, SGS is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050, with a long-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050, again from a 2019 base year. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), confirming their alignment with the 1.5°C warming scenario. SGS is actively working towards these goals, demonstrating a strong dedication to sustainability within the testing laboratories sector.
