2400 QUALIFIED AUDITORS and more than 20 years of experience
With SGS you have the assurance of being serviced by the most experienced and most customer focused auditors in the auditing and certification industry. This experience, their qualifications and their training guarantee you the most professional audits and relevant recommendations:

• We have the most stringent auditor training and qualification programs in the certification business: our auditors are trained as qualified lead auditors in a minimum of three industry sectors and two standards. They acquire the specific audit techniques, the industry and the relevant regulatory knowledge to conduct the most professional audits.
• Our auditors are required to identify and cross-reference the best practices within these industries, so to increase their experience and judgment – and make value added recommendations.
• Our auditors have international exposure: we believe international exposure increases the level of our auditors expertise and responsiveness to unusual situations / industry configurations.
• Our auditors share their knowledge: our auditors are required to share this knowledge whenever our Audit code of conduct allows it.
• Each country is unique and has its own customs and specific needs – which is why we recruit our auditors locally. - we also require from our auditors to speak English besides their native language.
