European sustainability legislation is evolving rapidly. Companies are facing new requirements relating to packaging, raw materials, product information and carbon emissions. Four regulations are particularly relevant: PPWR, EUDR, the Digital Product Passport (DPP) and CBAM.
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is set to significantly change how companies manage the sourcing, documentation and traceability of certain commodities and products entering or leaving the European Union.
