Sustainability

For SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS, being part of the worldwide operating SGS Group, sustainability and sustainable development is very important for all our commercial activities.
In order to fulfill our own sustainability standards, we constantly improve our services. We count on the expertise of our committed and highly qualified employees, state of the art technologies, innovative processes and the advantages of a worldwide network.
Thus, we can offer services that reveal outstanding quality and the special safety of the products to be tested as well as their sustainability.
With our contribution we want to leave the world a little better, so that coming generations can live without restrictions. That's why we, the worldwide operating SGS Group, are involved in fighting overfishing of our seas and support sustainable forestry as well as the protection of water, a commodity which is increasingly becoming short in supply.

You can profit from our knowledge and our competence. Together we can develop ways to equip your products with improved environmental features and optimize your manufacturing process in terms of environmental aspects, so you can achieve a better quality and more acceptance.

What we do in detail:

  • consultancy service concerning the responsible and efficient use of resources for the entire manufacturing process

  • consultancy in the area of water recycling

  • preparation of energy balances

  • certification along the lines of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) standards, a global, independent and charitable organization aiming to protect fishing resources

  • certification according to the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), an independent and charitable organization for the preservation of our forests.
An example of sustainable management:

Water is the most important and most valuable resource that we have. It is our first priority to protect it. In cooperation with a leading plants manufacturer the experts of SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS developed an innovative method for water recycling that helps to use water in enterprises in an optimal way.

Used process water can be turned into sterile drinking water and returned to the production process. The water consumption is significantly reduced and the water is used in an optimal way. The amount of waste water is minimized which in turn eases the burden on our bodies of water.
