NEW Compliance Support Services
From Regulatory Uncertainty to Operational Execution in Weeks
Our new Compliance Launchpad Services are a practical starting point for sustainability and ESG compliance: fixed-scope, fixed-fee services that tell you exactly what a piece of legislation means for your business and where to focus first.
What is it?
You know the legislation is coming. Do you know your true exposure?
You’ve tried to read the regulation. You’ve asked AI to summarise it, then asked it to summarise the summary. You've attended the webinar. You've received the industry briefing. You've been pitched at by software providers. And the questions from leadership still have no answers:
What does this actually mean for our products, our markets, and our suppliers?
Where do we start, and what are the first practical steps?
What will it cost, and how do we plan the investment?
How do we present all of this to the Board?
Our Compliance Launchpads give companies a focused, business-specific assessment of one regulation, delivered by experts who understand both the legislation and the industry.
You'll leave with:
✓ A clear understanding of the requirements relevant to your business
✓ An assessment of how they affect your products, markets, and operations
✓ Prioritised recommendations for what to do next
✓ Industry-wide insights and the solutions brands are converging on
✓ Common pain points and watch-outs
✓ A foundation your internal teams can use to move towards compliance
Fixed scope. Fixed fee. Delivered in 2–4 weeks. €4,400 per regulation.
From Regulation to Readiness
01
Where you are today
Aware that legislation is coming, but not certain where you stand, what applies to you, or what to do about it first. You feel overwhelmed by conflicting information and find it difficult to know where to start.
02
Where the launchpad gets you
Internal teams gain clarity and alignment around the key priorities, leadership has greater confidence in the direction of travel, and you can make informed decisions about where to invest time and resources.
03
Take action
The Launchpad gives you the foundation and direction to move forward, helping you understand where you stand today, what needs to happen next, and how to approach the path to compliance. It gives you the tools necessary to take action.
Choose Your Starting Point
Five regulations. One practical entry point
Each Launchpad covers a single piece of legislation in full and follows the same structure and price.
Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) & Digital Product Passport (DPP)
Apparel is the first product group being prioritised under the EU’s ecodesign and Digital Product Passport requirements. The choices your business makes on product data now will shape how ready you are when DPP becomes mandatory. Our Compliance Launchpad gives you a clear roadmap of what data you need to collect, how to structure it, and how to build the capabilities needed for DPP compliance before it becomes mandatory.
-
✓ Regulatory scope and requirements: current status, key developments and relevant timelines.
✓ Product requirements: the emerging ecodesign requirements for textiles.
✓ Digital Product Passport: key DPP data requirements and what they mean for your business.
✓ Operational implications: impacts across your products, data, suppliers and internal processes.
✓ Implementation considerations: the areas to address first when preparing for compliance.
✓ Prioritised recommendations: tailored guidance on where to focus next.

Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)
PPWR applies across sectors and covers everything from paper to plastic, with different obligations coming into force over the coming years. It covers all stages of the packaging life cycle, including production, distribution, use and waste management. From recyclability and recycled content to labelling, reuse, and EPR, knowing what applies can be complex. Our Compliance Launchpad helps you understand what PPWR means for your business, identify where your exposure is, and prioritise the actions needed to move towards compliance.
-
✓ Regulatory scope and requirements: the PPWR framework, core requirements and implementation milestones.
✓ Packaging requirements: key considerations around recyclability, recycled content, design and minimisation.
✓ Labelling and information: emerging requirements for labels and consumer communication.
✓ Reuse and refill: the reuse, refill and packaging reduction requirements relevant to your business.
✓ EPR and market obligations: key producer responsibility considerations and implications across EU markets.
✓ Prioritised recommendations: tailored guidance on where to focus next.

Empowering Consumers Directive (EmpCo)
Environmental claims now face tighter rules, with vague claims prohibited and enforcement strengthening across the EU. That does not mean staying silent or stripping your marketing of every sustainability claim just to avoid risk. It means knowing which claims hold up. Our Compliance Launchpad helps you determine which of your claims are permitted, identify the substantiation they require, guide you towards engaging and compliant claims, and build a defensible sign-off process for future claims.
-
✓ Regulatory scope and requirements: key requirements, prohibited practices and implementation timelines.
✓ Claims risk: the types of environmental claims and practices most likely to create exposure.
✓ Brand claims assessment: an evaluation of selected existing claims and the areas needing attention.
✓ Substantiation requirements: the evidence and supporting information your claims will need.
✓ Labels and certification schemes: considerations around the use of sustainability labels, logos and certification schemes.
✓ Claims governance: an internal process for reviewing, approving and monitoring claims.
Want confidence in your environmental claims? Talk to us about your compliance approach.
Forced Labour Regulation (FLR)
The EU Forced Labour Regulation prohibits products made with forced labour from the EU market. Coming into force in December 2027, gives businesses time to put the right processes in place and prepare. It applies to all products and companies, regardless of size, making supply chain visibility, traceability, and credible evidence increasingly important for brands. With our Compliance Launchpad, you will gain a clear picture of what is required, where your supply chain may be exposed, and how to build a defensible due diligence process.
-
✓ Regulatory scope and requirements: overview of the FLR framework, key obligations and enforcement approach.
✓ Forced labour risk exposure: key supply chain risk factors and areas of potential exposure.
✓ Supply chain visibility: considerations around traceability, mapping and supporting documentation.
✓ Due diligence approach: core elements of a credible and proportionate due diligence process.
✓ Documentation & evidence: key considerations for maintaining evidence and demonstrating compliance.
✓ Prioritised recommendations: tailored guidance on where to focus next.
✓ Industry insight: insight into how other brands and retailers are approaching pragmatic due diligence.
Concerned about supply chain exposure? Get in touch to discuss your FLR readiness.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Textiles
Under the revised Waste Framework Directive, every EU Member State must transpose the new textile EPR requirements into national law by 2027, with fees, eco-modulation criteria, and reporting obligations that will reshape how brands operate. For most businesses, this means a new, recurring cost to plan for. Our Compliance Launchpad helps you understand where you will be exposed, what your obligations will look like, and how product design can affect your costs.
-
✓ Regulatory scope and requirements: the evolving EU EPR requirements and key timelines.
✓ Market by market status: current and upcoming obligations across your priority markets.
✓ Eco-modulation: key considerations around fee modulation works and product-related criteria.
✓ PRO landscape: how to evaluate and select Producer Responsibility Organisations.
✓ Connection to ESPR and DPP: how textile EPR interacts with wider product and data requirements.
✓ Prioritised recommendations: tailored guidance on where to focus next.
