SGS is pleased to have been selected by SIX Swiss Exchange, the stock market regulator, as one of only two sustainability experts to be approved reviewers for its newly launched '1.5°C Climate Equity' flag.
SIX created this flag to help Swiss listed companies to demonstrate their contributions towards limiting global warming to 1.5°C, strengthen their commitments to reduce their emissions and work to adapt to the impacts of climate change.
As a leader in sustainability, SGS will check whether listed companies applying for the voluntary flag meet all its requirements. The clients will need to submit an Emission Plan which will be assessed by SGS sustainability experts, through a forward-looking review leading to a confirmation opinion. If granted, the SGS assessment report will be published on the clients' website. The flag is valid for one year and must be renewed annually with an updated confirmation.
This partnership with SIX further demonstrates SGS's expertise in measuring, assessing, reporting and monitoring all aspects of sustainability, including climate, nature preservation, circularity and ESG assurance.
