World Accreditation Day 2021: Supporting the Implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Jun 8, 2021

SGS will join organizations around the world to celebrate World Accreditation Day (#WAD2021) on June 9, 2021.
 
Established by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), World Accreditation Day is a global initiative to promote the value of accreditation.
 
WAD 2021 will focus on how accreditation can be used to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The 17 SDGs address global challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation and justice. They provide a blueprint for achieving a better and more sustainable future. Accreditation can support the implementation of the SDGs by promoting the wellbeing of people, facilitating economic development and ensuring that our environment is protected.
