Insights into SGS's Energy Renewability
In 2024, SGS consumed a total of 3.39 million Gigajoules of energy across its operations. Of this total, 51.31% was sourced from renewable energy, either derived from natural resources like biofuels, biomass, or biogas, or generated using renewable technologies such as solar or wind power. The remaining 48.69% was classified as non-renewable energy, coming from fossil-based fuels such as coal, natural gas, or crude oil, or from non-renewable generation technologies like nuclear power. a
SGS's Energy Renewability Rate
How much of SGS's energy consumed is renewable?
In 2024, SGS consumed a total of 3.39 million Gigajoules of energy, of which 51.31% was derived from renewable sources, including biofuels, biomass, biogas, solar, and wind power. a
This moderate level of renewable energy adoption indicates that SGS is transitioning toward cleaner energy sources, though a significant share of its energy mix still relies on non-renewable inputs.
Are SGS's energy practices becoming more sustainable?
Since 2021, SGS's total energy consumption increased by 1.49%, but remained relatively stable in 2024, possibly indicating a plateau in energy growth. a b
Over the same period, the share of renewable energy increased by 2.56%, while holding steady in 2024, indicating past gains that have recently stabilized. a b
Overall, SGS’s energy trends reveal a complex picture, with variations in total consumption and renewable sourcing. A closer examination of operational drivers and sourcing strategies is needed to fully assess the company’s environmental impact.

SGS's Energy Consumed by Sources and Technologies
What are the main sources and generation technologies behind SGS's energy consumption?
In 2024, SGS's total energy consumption was primarily sourced from a
- Electricity (Unspecified Source) (52.82%)
- Transport Fuel (30.86%)
- Natural Gas (11.76%)
How diverse is SGS’s energy consumption mix?
In 2024, SGS consumed energy from 5 different sources or generation technologies, indicating a moderately diverse energy mix, with some concentration in a primary source. a
Insights into SGS's Energy Inflows & Self-Sufficiency
In 2024, SGS reported total energy inflows of 1.74 million Gigajoules, which corresponds to the company's full energy needs, including energy consumed, redistributed, sold, or stored. This energy inflow was composed of 1.7 million Gigajoules purchased from external suppliers and 40,467.6 Gigajoules generated through internal production. This corresponds to a production share of 2.33%, reflecting a 150.3% percentage point increase from the previous year (2023) and a 226.12% percentage point increase since 2021. a b
These consistent increases, both year-over-year and over the longer term, suggest that SGS is actively strengthening its energy autonomy. The company appears to be making deliberate, sustained investments in internal energy production, possibly to improve energy security, reduce reliance on volatile external markets, or support broader sustainability goals.
