SGS, headquartered in Switzerland and operating in the Testing Laboratories industry, reported total Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 719,132,000 kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 99,544,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and approximately 222,263,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based). Scope 3 emissions for 2025 were around 611,582,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from purchased goods and services (approximately 400,109,000 kg CO2e), capital goods (approximately 40,436,000 kg CO2e), and employee commuting (approximately 59,584,000 kg CO2e).

Looking back, SGS's total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions were approximately 712,989,000 kg CO2e in 2024, approximately 922,563,000 kg CO2e in 2023, and approximately 967,126,000 kg CO2e in 2022. In 2021, the company's combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 115,303,000 kg CO2e, with total Scope 3 emissions reaching about 820,776,000 kg CO2e.

SGS has committed to ambitious climate targets. The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 46.2% by 2030, using a 2019 base year. Additionally, SGS is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 emissions by 28% by 2030, also from a 2019 base year. For the long term, SGS pledges to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050, with an interim goal to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2019 base year. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C. SGS also has a near-term target to reduce its car fleet's CO2 emissions by 40% by 2025 from a 2023 baseline.
