OUR FULL RANGE OF SERVICES

Forever enables companies to integrate sustainability into their overall business strategy. Sustainability strategy is about finding the key issues within sustainability that will make a difference for stakeholders and for the company. Strategy is about making choices and the double materiality assessment is a key tool for doing this. Strategic elements of CSRD such as financial materiality, value chain analysis and IRO is included in the process. Stakeholders expectations are mapped, focus areas selected, activities put in place and success measured by KPIs.

Forever supports companies in developing a sustainability program that lives up to demands from stakeholders and bring financial value creation to shareholders. This includes LCA, GHG measurements, and implementation of ISO standards such as ISO 14000 and ISO 26000.

In addition, sustainability is integrated into overall business strategy through the concept of Shared Value. It is about identifying the activities that bring both high financial return and improved sustainability performance. It could be innovation in products, new ways of working in the value chain or by building new societal ecosystems that create new markets. Here financial materiality is addressed as part of the CSRD regulation.
