SGS Further Extends EcoVadis Partnership by Becoming an Auditing Partner

We are proud to become an EcoVadis auditing partner to expand its partnership network to enhance client value with new auditing services.

As an accredited partner, we will address client needs for trusted, high-quality on-site audit services.

This strategic move directly addresses the growing demand for trusted recommendations for training and auditing services when risks are identified and targeted verification is required during EcoVadis’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) assessments.

New partner accreditation results from a rigorous selection process. We were identified based on our commitment to excellence, deep expertise and client-first approach, ensuring EcoVadis’s clients receive high-quality, seamless support.

From anonymous worker insights to expert on-site verification and monitored remediation

Through the EcoVadis Worker Voice solution suite, data flags high-risk areas where human rights breaches may exist. Users can leverage this intelligence to schedule a highly focused investigation to verify and remediate known issues, ultimately guiding targeted improvements. They can now tap into a network of accredited experts to conduct on-site verification and monitor remediation.

“Our clients frequently ask us for recommendations for high-stakes services like audits, and we have a responsibility to connect them with the very best," said Pierre-François Thaler, co-founder and co-CEO of EcoVadis.

“This isn't just about referrals; it’s about carefully curating a network of trusted experts who share our commitment to client success. In this sense, SGS is a great addition to our ecosystem.”

A strategy of mutual growth and innovation

This expansion is a core component of EcoVadis’s broader company strategy: to create a thriving ecosystem of partners who drive innovation, deliver exceptional value and accelerate mutual growth through seamless collaboration and cutting-edge integrations.

The partnership with SGS strengthens this ecosystem by providing a crucial, complementary service, fostering a more complete value chain for joint clients.

“We are excited to provide additional support to EcoVadis’s ecosystem using our large network of more than 800 expert auditors,” said Neil Willings, Global Head of Sustainability and Supply Chain at SGS.

“This partnership will allow us to offer our specialized audit expertise to a broader client base while collaborating with a company that truly understands the power of strategic partnerships.”
