Johnson & Johnson Gets SABS Approved Mark |
During a virtual certificate handover ceremony, Jonhson & Johnson explained the importance of receiving an independent certification from the South African Bureau of Standards. As a result, they are the first company in Africa with this certification. Johnson & Johnson is committed to empowering young women. The collaboration and partnership with SABS support both brand’s message to keep more girls in school. This comes at a time when the spotlight is on gender equality in South Africa. | | CHIETA & SABS signs Partnership Agreement |
An important MOU was signed (virtually) between CHIETA – The Chemical Industries Education and Training Authority and SABS. This MOU will support about 100 SME’s and start a cross-sector collaboration that, in return, will stimulate SMME growth, especially in the chemical sector.
Standards play a huge role in the growth of the economy. This MOU is proof that standards are relevant. The consistency that is provided by using Standards is vital for a successful sustainability business. |
