World Standards Day 2026

Today, we celebrate World Standards Day, joining the global community in recognising the vital role that standards play in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with this year's focus on SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy.

At Cotecna, as a proud member of the UN Global Compact, we are committed to integrating the SDGs throughout our organisation. Our sustainability strategy aligns with these global goals, helping us create long-term value for our people, communities and the environment.

SDG 7 aims to ensure access to affordable and clean energy for all. Access to clean and dependable energy is essential for powering homes and businesses, supporting economic growth, improving quality of life and building more resilient communities.

This goal aligns closely with Cotecna's Environmental Impact sustainability pillar, through which we strive to minimise our carbon footprint, manage waste and emissions responsibly, and conserve energy and water across our operations.

At Cotecna, we believe that standards are a key enabler of progress. Through our testing, inspection and certification services, we help build confidence in the safety, quality and performance of energy-related products and systems. By supporting compliance with recognised standards, Cotecna contributes to the development of reliable energy infrastructure that businesses, governments and communities can trust.

World Standards Day provides an opportunity to recognise the positive impact standards have on our daily lives and their role in supporting a more sustainable future. By advancing clean energy and sustainable development, standards help create lasting benefits for communities around the world.
