Sustainable solutions

Sustainability is high on the agenda of authorities, companies and citizens. This can be seen from public opinion, government policies, new regulations and business initiatives.

Companies that supply sustainable services and products, such as recycling companies, producers of green gas, sustainable heating installations, PV and thermal solar panels or sustainable packaging manufacturers, are required to comply with an increasing number of regulations and standards. In addition, organisations are increasingly required by law to have their processes and business as sustainable as possible.

Kiwa is a global player in the field of testing, inspection and certification. With our services all over the world we help organisations to minimize their environmental impact thanks to their sustainable solutions.
