Every day, organisations across the world rely on accreditation to demonstrate competence and build confidence. From emerging technologies and digital transformation to environmental stewardship and global trade, accreditation provides the foundation for a safer, smarter and more sustainable world.

9 June 2026 marks World Accreditation Day (#WAD2026), a global initiative established to promote the value of accreditation. On WAD 2026, we celebrate the vital role accreditation plays in driving innovation, trust and sustainable development.

‘As technology evolves and sustainability expectations grow, progress needs proof. Accreditation helps innovation move faster and more safely, helps sustainability claims stand up to scrutiny, and helps build trust in the results that regulators, businesses and consumers rely on.’
