ScS shared that Matthew Rudolf has been a part of the company since 2016, building its dynamic Energy, Biomass and Circularity Division, serving as the vice president of International Business Development before he was appointed by the Board of Directors as the new CEO and president.

Jim Knutzon, chairman of the Board and outgoing acting CEO, said: "As we pass the torch from company founder, Dr. Stanley Rhodes, who built the company from the ground up with a pioneering vision, singular talent, and dedication to protecting people and the planet, the Board is confident that Matt has what it takes to successfully lead SCS through the next chapter of its growth and service."

Rudolf, a graduate of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, launched his sustainability career as founding executive director of Piedmont Biofuels, a biofuels production and distribution cooperative.

"I am deeply honoured to have been selected by the Board to take the reins of SCS," said Rudolf. "SCS has always stood out in the Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) sector as a sustainability champion, developing innovative standards, conducting the highest quality third-party certification assessments, and providing a roadmap for companies seeking to improve people’s lives and protect the environment. Our strength is in the expertise, experience and deep commitment of our team in service of our common vision. I look forward to expanding our services for even greater impact in the future."
