SGS acquires 50% stake in Bluesign

16/07/2008
Switzerland-based inspection, verification, testing and certification company SGS has acquired a 50% stakeholding in bluesign technologies ag.

The partnership will enable the implementation of the bluesign standard throughout the textile supply chain through the SGS network of trained professionals. It will also help further growth and recognition of the independent bluesign standard.

The bluesign standard addresses not only consumer safety aspects, but covers the complete range of EHS (environment, health and safety) issues within the entire textile manufacturing chain, namely air emissions, water emissions, occupational health and safety and resource management. It focuses on best available technology to reduce resource usage within the textile supply chain.
