EUROLAB is delighted to announce the publication of the Technical Report Guidelines for managing sustainability in CABs. This document provides guidance for Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) including testing, inspection and calibration laboratories, certification bodies, and other entities operating within the conformity assessment sector, on how to integrate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles into operations.

The paper provides amongst others, valuable insights on:

-Strategic orientation for sustainability in CABs

-Environmental reporting of carbon footprint across voluntary frameworks

-Practices that ensure long-term sustainable continuity

-Enhancing operational resilience, stakeholder trust, and long-term competitiveness

-Practical tools, references, and frameworks that CABs may find useful when shaping their own sustainability strategies.
