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, including:
- the implementation of practices aimed at promoting safe and decent working conditions,
- support for local development initiatives tailored to regional realities,
- the adoption of practices aimed at preserving biodiversity, ecosystems, and natural resources.
The commitments of certified companies are regularly assessed by an independent third-party organization, thereby ensuring transparency and credibility.
Choosing For Life means giving meaning to your procurement and positioning your company as part of an ambitious transition.
