We work to have a positive impact on the world. Our team is serious about finding evidence-based solutions to pressing issues and shaping more sustainable places, communities and economies.
Alison Holloway, Chief Executive Officer
B Corporation
We are part of a global movement of people working for an equitable and prosperous world.
It is a commonly held practice that companies exist to maximise return for shareholders. But what if companies decided to look after shareholders and actively work towards creating an equitable and prosperous world? Revolutionary? Maybe. Is it possible? Absolutely.
For SGS, it’s business as usual.
When the B Corp movement crossed our path, we knew we had found a perfect fit. We swiftly embarked on the B Corp certification process which included a rigorous assessment of our social, environmental, transparency and accountability standards.
Now a certified B Corp, we work with more than 2,300 B Corps around the world to redefine success in business and create a more prosperous world.
Certified B Corps are a new kind of business that balance purpose and profit. Being a B Corp shows that we are serious about working to benefit our people, our clients and the broader community.
Who we are
Why we work
We have many awards, but that’s not why we work. We work for the public interest and aspire to provide Australia’s best independent policy advice.
Who we are
We are a cohesive team of economists, planners, mathematicians, researchers and spatial analysts from a diverse mix of public agency, private consultancy and business backgrounds.
How we work
The way we work is different. We don’t have formal departments. Instead, we form agile teams to thoroughly research, analyse and create solutions. We also hold workshops, courses and presentations to share knowledge and skills collaboratively. To have more impact, we challenge conventional thinking. We invest in innovation and self-funded research and development. As digital leaders, we use advancing technology and digital tools to make complex data both meaningful and straightforward.
Who we work with
We work with people who shape places, communities and economies across all tiers of government, universities, peak bodies, not-for-profit organisations, the development industry and other private businesses and consultancies.
