We are proud to continue our longstanding partnership with BorsodChem, a leading European chemical manufacturer, by supporting the company’s preparations for upcoming sustainability reporting obligations under the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), including EU Taxonomy alignment.
We have been a trusted certification partner of BorsodChem for many years, providing support across ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety) and ISO 50001 (energy management). This solid foundation of cooperation and trust has now expanded into a new strategic area: sustainability reporting readiness and CSRD assurance.
With experience in sustainability disclosures based on GRI standards, BorsodChem is preparing for a more complex regulatory environment. We were selected, through a competitive tender process, to guide the company in navigating these upcoming requirements, offering technical knowledge, methodological support and practical implementation experience.
“Our extensive knowledge of system certification, auditing and evolving sustainability frameworks makes us the ideal partner for companies like BorsodChem, who are preparing for the transformative CSRD and ESRS landscape,” said Neil Willings, Global Head of ESG, Sustainability Assurance and Supply Chain at SGS. “We’re proud to contribute to this strategic project by providing tools, insights, and confidence to meet the future of non-financial reporting.”
This project underlines our commitment to helping clients anticipate regulatory change, integrate sustainability into their operations and demonstrate accountability to stakeholders with IMPACT NOW for sustainability, through which we deliver climate, circularity, nature and ESG assurance services to address ever-changing market demands and the urgent needs of the planet.
