As the wind industry continues to scale to meet global net zero ambitions, quality, consistency and supplier maturity remain critical success factors. Companies across the value chain – from component manufacturers to utilities and project developers – are under pressure to standardise processes, minimise risk and accelerate time to market without compromising performance.
To support this, SGS continues to deliver APQP4Wind-certified training, helping stakeholders embed a common, preventive approach to quality throughout the wind supply chain. APQP4Wind, widely recognised as the leading framework for quality assurance in wind, provides a structured methodology modelled on best practices from the automotive, rail and aerospace sectors.

- Implement a shared quality standard across the industry.
- Shift from reactive quality control to proactive quality assurance.
- Strengthen collaboration between OEMs, suppliers and sub-suppliers.
- Reduce errors, delays and overall levelised cost of energy (LCOE).
- Support global supplier maturity and process efficiency.
