What is For Life?
A certification of your commitment to CSR and sustainable sourcing.
For Life certification recognizes companies and supply chains that make a concrete commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). It recognizes their efforts to improve social conditions, reduce the environmental impact of their activities, and better control their supply chains, through awareness about the origin of products and preventing associated social and environmental risks.
Based on a rigorous reference framework, the certification covers all the key dimensions of an effective CSR strategy, structured around 8 major themes. These include:
- providing safe and dignified working conditions,
- active support for local economic development,
- implementing production practices that respect biodiversity, the climate and natural resources.
The commitments of certified companies are regularly assessed by an independent third-party organisation, guaranteeing transparency, credibility and real impact.
When you choose For Life, you’re giving meaning to your sourcing and making your company part of a responsible, ambitious and sustainable transition.

They attest that certified companies have defined and implement a policy to ensure continuous improvement in both internal and external impacts.
