In 1878, a young entrepreneur named Henri Goldstuck recognized a critical need in the bustling port of Rouen, France. As grain shipments flowed through one of the country's largest ports, he saw that buyers and sellers needed an independent, trustworthy way to verify quality. So he founded a grain inspection house that would eventually transform into the world's most trusted name in testing, inspection, and certification. From those humble beginnings on the docks of 1870s Rouen, SGS evolved into a global powerhouse with over 99,500 professionals operating across 2,500 laboratories and business facilities in 115 countries. After moving headquarters to Geneva, Switzerland in 1915 and adopting the name Société Générale de Surveillance, the company expanded beyond grain inspection to serve virtually every industry. Today, SGS combines Swiss precision with deep expertise across oil and gas, manufacturing, healthcare, technology, and sustainability sectors, guided by a simple promise that has endured for over 145 years: when you need to be sure.

We're on a mission to transform the global energy system. With a dedicated team of over 35,000 employees, we work every day to shape a more sustainable future by designing, installing, and maintaining wind energy projects worldwide. Wind energy is our heritage and core competence - we believe wind power will form the backbone of tomorrow's energy system. That's why we're steadfast in our commitment to solutions that drive the vital transition to renewable energy, with wind at our core. For four decades, we've designed, manufactured, installed, and serviced energy solutions across 88 countries. We were the first company to install 200 GW of wind turbines globally, and we maintain the world's largest wind turbine fleet, spanning over 56,000 turbines. We've been ranked the most sustainable energy solutions company in the world, but we know there's more work to do. We're pushing boundaries with offshore wind, circular blade technology, and low-emission steel to make wind energy even more sustainable.

Drees & Sommer exists to create a future worth living by transforming how the built environment is designed, constructed, and operated.

Since 1970, the company has grown from a small Stuttgart engineering office into a global partner-managed consultancy with 6,500 professionals across 70+ cities. Their interdisciplinary teams work on 6,872+ projects worldwide, uniting apparent opposites: tradition and innovation, economy and ecology, analog and digital, efficiency and well-being. As a sustainability pioneer and digitalization driver, Drees & Sommer doesn't just advise clients - they implement solutions that measurably reduce environmental impact while creating lasting value. From carbon-neutral buildings to resilient infrastructure and future-proof industrial facilities, they're proving that sustainable development isn't just necessary - it's the foundation of competitive advantage in a changing world.

In 1999, two science-based companies with shared visions came together to form AstraZeneca: Sweden's Astra AB and the UK's Zeneca Group PLC. This strategic merger combined decades of pharmaceutical expertise, creating a global powerhouse uniquely positioned to push the boundaries of scientific discovery. What began as a union of strengths has evolved into a relentless pursuit of breakthrough therapies, with the company investing billions annually in research and development to transform patient outcomes across oncology, biopharmaceuticals, respiratory, and rare diseases. Today, AstraZeneca stands at the forefront of precision medicine and next-generation therapeutics, harnessing the power of data science, AI, and innovative technologies like cell therapies. With 197 projects in the pipeline and 16 blockbuster medicines, the company operates from six strategic R&D centres spanning Cambridge, Gothenburg, Gaithersburg, Boston, Shanghai, and Beijing. Their bold aspiration to deliver 20 new medicines by 2030 reflects an unwavering commitment to following the science and putting patients first - values that have driven every decision since that pivotal merger more than two decades ago.
