Understand your production situation: requirements, risks and priorities

You get a clear picture of where you stand and what's most important to address.

It's relevant when the situation feels hard to get an overview of and you need structure to move forward. We map the current situation, identify what's actually going on and help you prioritise what needs to be addressed first, so you can act on the right things in the right order.

You understand what's actually driving your disruptions and variations, and can use that to prioritise what needs addressing first and set up an action plan.

It's relevant when you have recurring problems but aren't quite sure what's causing them. Fixing symptoms without understanding the cause rarely solves the problem. We help you dig deeper and find what's actually behind it, as a basis for the right actions.

You get clarity on which requirements apply to your business, for example REACH, PFAS, CSRD, ISO standards or the Machinery Directive, and what you need to do.

It's relevant when new requirements land and you're unsure what they actually mean for your business. We help you interpret the regulations, identify what specifically applies to you and what needs to be done, without spending more time on it than necessary.

You get sustainability data that holds up to scrutiny, for example Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and climate data, verified according to current regulations and standards.

It's relevant when you need to produce or verify sustainability data for customers, regulations or certifications. We help you produce data that's correctly calculated, documented and approved, and that holds up when scrutinised.

You get a clear basis for which materials need to be replaced and which alternatives work in your production.

It's relevant when a material needs to be phased out, due to new requirements, supply issues or sustainability reasons, and you need to find an alternative that works in your specific production. We help you identify alternatives, test them and ensure they hold up.

You can show that requirements are met across the whole supply chain, towards customers, regulators or certification bodies, including preparation for digital product passports (DPP) under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).

It's relevant when you need to document and prove that requirements are met along the whole chain, not just within your own operations. We help you build traceability, set the right requirements for suppliers and prepare for upcoming requirements such as digital product passports. We also help you understand how Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD), the EU's framework for designing safe and sustainable materials and products, affects your business.

You get the knowledge needed to understand, interpret and manage the requirements and challenges affecting your business.

It's relevant when new regulations or requirements land and you need to build internal understanding of what they mean, or when you want to strengthen skills in a specific area such as sustainability, materials knowledge or regulatory requirements. We design training tailored to your business and your needs.

How do we know if this is right for us?

If you have a situation that feels hard to get an overview of, recurring problems, new requirements or a change you haven't quite caught up with, this is a good first step. We help you understand what's actually going on and what needs to be done, however complex the situation is.

What happens in an initial conversation?

We listen to your situation, ask questions and help you put into words what needs to be investigated. You don't need to have all the answers, that's exactly what we help you with.

How long does it take?

It depends on how complex the situation is. Sometimes a shorter mapping assignment is enough, sometimes a more thorough analysis is needed. We tailor the scope to your needs.

Can you help us even if we don't know exactly what the problem is?

Yes, that's actually the most common situation. Many of the companies we work with know that something isn't working but struggle to pinpoint what. Helping you understand that is often the most important thing we do.

How do we handle several new requirements at the same time?

It's common for regulatory, sustainability and market requirements to land around the same time. We help you prioritise what's actually urgent and what can be handled step by step.

How do we keep track of new EU requirements and what they mean for us?

It's hard to keep up when new regulations and requirements land at a rapid pace. We help you understand which requirements actually apply to your business and what you need to do, without spending more time on it than necessary.

What happens if our challenge spans several areas?

It's more common than you'd think. We help you whether you need support within a defined area or throughout the whole journey, from understanding the situation to carrying out the change in practice.

Can you help us find funding for our project?

Yes, many companies want to develop but find it hard to prioritise time and resources outside day-to-day operations. We help you find funding support that makes the project possible, whether through European, national or regional research and development programmes.
