The FuturePlus team is excited to introduce a major update to our platform. This update isn't just about adding new features; it's about building a wide-ranging FuturePlus ecosystem of sustainability solutions.

This update represents a significant advancement in functionality, usability, and product offerings, reflecting our commitment to supporting organisations on their sustainability journey. Making it easier than ever for organisations to understand and then achieve their sustainability goals, leading to positive commercial outcomes, better access to finance, enhanced stakeholder engagement, winning bids, and reduced risks.

Technology can be a powerful force for good. We're using our platform to make it easier for organisations to improve their sustainability performance, understand their impact, and report their ESG. With this update, we're making it easier for organisations to manage and improve their sustainability.

At FuturePlus, ambition is key. We know sustainability shouldn’t be a static goal, it should be about continuous improvement. With the insights gained from working with clients worldwide over the past two years, we've honed our understanding of supporting organisations in embedding sustainability into their decision-making processes. This invaluable experience has shaped the next phase of FuturePlus, which we are excited to introduce in the coming months.

In 2024, we will add new sustainable procurement management tools, materiality assessments and access to a marketplace of solutions.

Collaboration and Learning

Our journey has been shaped by our collaboration with organisations worldwide. We've witnessed the power of embedding sustainability into decision-making processes and supported the sustainable growth of businesses globally. This has driven our commitment to mature data collection and verification processes and educating businesses on the 'what' and 'how' of sustainable practices.

Data Maturity

FuturePlus recognises the importance of collecting data and ensuring its accuracy, relevance, and timeliness. Our updated platform empowers organisations to mature their data collection processes, providing a solid base for sustainable business practices.

Our platform goes beyond data collection and verification, aiming to be a comprehensive knowledge hub for organisations navigating the complex sustainability landscape.

Staying Ahead of Regulatory Changes

As part of our commitment to supporting your sustainability journey, FuturePlus will continue to update the platform in line with regulatory changes. We recognise the impact of evolving regulations on investors and businesses, including significant regulations such as the SEC in the US, SDR in the UK, and the CSRD in the EU. Adapting to these changes ensures that your sustainability initiatives remain not only compliant but also well-positioned to meet the evolving expectations of stakeholders.
