AMSTERDAM, February 3, 2026 /3BL/ – SCS Global Services (SCS), an international leader in third party certification and sustainability verification for more than 40 years, today announced the launch of SCS Global Services Europe B.V. (SCS Europe) — a dedicated EU-based legal entity established to help companies navigate the existing and rapidly expanding landscape of European climate and sustainability regulations.
As the EU introduces far-reaching rules including the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and the emerging Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and Digital Product Passport (DPP), companies operating in Europe face increasing pressure to demonstrate transparent, independently verified compliance.
SCS Europe was created to meet this moment.
“Companies need verification partners that understand the requirements from the inside and can act quickly,” said Maggie Schwartz, Managing Director, SCS Europe and Vice-President of Natural Resources for SCS Global Global Services. “Establishing SCS Europe enables us to deliver faster, more tailored support to clients, expand our European accreditations, and help organizations meet new compliance obligations with confidence.”
