History
Back in 1984, when SCS first began providing third-party certification services, sustainability was hardly on the radar screen. Fast forward to today, sustainability innovation is a key business driver around the globe. Here are just a few of the many exciting milestones in our history.
What's in a Name?
Names say a lot about intentions, and we've chosen a name that communicates ours. We first incorporated under the name, Ohlone Inc., in honor of the sustainable practices of the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Bay Area where we began offering services. In 1988, we became Scientific Certification Systems, Inc. (SCS), to communicate our efforts to apply rigorous science to the task of independent, third-party certification of claims, paying attention to holistic, system-wide ramifications. Today, we are SCS Global Services, communicating the importance of serving the international community with science-based certification, auditing, and testing services and insights.
