SGS secures top AAA rating from MSCI and maintains FTSE4Good inclusion, reinforcing global ESG leadership

(IN BRIEF) SGS has reaffirmed its position as a leader in sustainability and ESG performance by achieving the highest AAA rating in MSCI ESG Ratings for the sixth consecutive year and securing a place in the FTSE4Good Index Series for the eighth year in a row. These recognitions reflect SGS’s ability to manage ESG risks, deliver long-term value, and align with globally recognised standards, reinforcing its reputation as one of the most trusted and sustainable companies in its industry.

(PRESS RELEASE) GENEVA, 25-Sep-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection, and certification company, has once again been recognised for its strong commitment to sustainability and ESG performance, securing two major international distinctions. The company maintained the top AAA rating in Morgan Stanley Capital International’s (MSCI) ESG Ratings for the sixth consecutive year and was also included in the FTSE4Good Index Series for the eighth year running.

The AAA rating places SGS among the top eight professional services companies worldwide assessed by MSCI. The ESG Ratings evaluate how effectively businesses manage financially relevant risks and opportunities in environmental, social, and governance areas. Achieving the highest rating highlights SGS’s ability to not only mitigate risk but also to proactively embed sustainability into its long-term strategy, addressing stakeholder priorities across the globe.

In addition, SGS’s continued presence in the FTSE4Good Index Series reflects the company’s alignment with globally recognised ESG standards. Developed by FTSE Russell, the index is a key benchmark for investors seeking companies that demonstrate strong sustainability practices and is widely used to shape responsible investment portfolios.

With these recognitions, SGS strengthens its position as an international leader in ESG and corporate sustainability, underlining the trust placed in its strategy and performance by investors, stakeholders, and the wider market.
