(PRESS RELEASE) GENEVA, 15-Apr-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — SGS is proud to announce its official recognition as a Validation and Verification Body (VVB) by Isometric, the world’s most rigorous carbon removal registry. This approval marks a pivotal milestone for SGS in the global carbon market, empowering the company to independently validate and verify carbon removal initiatives aligned with the Isometric Standard.
