In 2026, the AFNOR Group will celebrate an exceptional milestone: 100 years of commitment to trust, progress, and sustainable development. A century during which voluntary standards, certification, and training have accompanied economic, technological, and societal transformations in France and internationally.
Today, with 37 locations around the world and customers in more than 100 countries, AFNOR International continues to pursue its founding mission: to promote trust wherever organizations wish to structure their practices, strengthen their performance, and meet the expectations of their stakeholders.
🌍 2025: a year of transitions, challenges, and successes
The past year has confirmed the importance of voluntary standards and certification in a changing world. Companies have had to deal with major challenges: digital transformation, growing environmental requirements, the rise of cybersecurity, and heightened expectations in terms of quality and social responsibility.
Thanks to the dedication of our teams, auditors, trainers, and partners, AFNOR International has continued to grow, strengthened its local presence, and supported thousands of organizations in their efforts to improve.
✨ 2026: a symbolic year, a renewed ambition
This centenary year marks a key milestone. It invites us to look back on how far we have come, but above all to look ahead to the future.
In 2026, AFNOR International reaffirms its ambition:
- Supporting organizations in their transformations, drawing on international best practices.
- Strengthening proximity thanks to our 37 locations and our global network of auditors and trainers.
- Develop innovative solutions tailored to new uses, new risks, and new expectations.
- Promote voluntary standards as drivers of trust, performance, and sustainability.
Because trust cannot be decreed: it is built together, day after day.
🌟Our wishes for 2026
To our clients, partners, and teams: thank you for your trust and commitment. May 2026 be a year of progress, innovation, and international cooperation.
Let's continue to build a world based on trust together.
