CSQA closes 2025 with significant financial and management results , confirming a solid and structured growth path that consolidates the organization's role as a national point of reference in the certification, quality and sustainability sector.

In 2025, total revenues reached 37.4 million euros , with a growth of 6.36% compared to the plan targets.
The EBITDA (Gross Operating Margin) result was particularly significant, reaching 2.57 million euros , with a percentage impact of 6.89% on the value of revenues.

• the important development of the Bioliquids and Biofuels area;
• the consolidation of sustainability-related certifications;
• strengthening activities in the Wood, Forests and Ecosystem Services sectors;
• the extension of digital and cybersecurity certifications to various product sectors , in particular on the ISO 27001 standard;
• a significant growth in gender equality certifications (PdR 125), increasingly relevant and essential for companies and also driven by ministerial incentives;
• growth in the healthcare sector , with good prospects for both public and private healthcare.

CSQA also confirms its leadership in international food safety schemes such as BRCGS, IFS and GlobalG.AP , sectors that continue to record positive growth, consolidating the organization's positioning in traditional agri-food markets.

“2025 represents a year of extraordinary results for CSQA, which reward the strategic vision pursued in recent years and the daily work of our people ,” - declared CSQA President, Dr. Pietro Bonato - “The growth in revenue confirms the solidity of our model and our ability to anticipate regulatory and market developments.
We have consolidated our leadership in our core certification sectors and, at the same time, developed new strategic areas such as sustainability, cybersecurity, digital services, healthcare, and personal services. We will continue to invest in innovation, skills, digitalization, and people development to support companies through the major economic and regulatory transformations of the coming years.
