EUDR • EUFLR • PPWR: Operational Due Diligence and Product Compliance

The EU's latest regulatory landscape shifts compliance from basic paperwork to verified plot-level traceability, labor rights enforcement, and circular packaging. Non-compliance risks customs hold-ups, severe financial penalties, and market exclusion.

EUDR — EU Deforestation Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1115)

Every shipment of an in-scope commodity must prove origin down to a specific plot and demonstrate no deforestation after 31 December 2020. Without a valid Due Diligence Statement (DDS), goods cannot enter the EU market — whatever their quality or price.

What our engagement covers

01
Scope and role

We reconcile your product portfolio against Annex I, including "ex" prefix cases, and determine whether you act as operator, trader, or both. The wrong classification means the wrong obligations.

02
Plot-level geolocation

We collect, verify, and structure polygons and coordinate points, applying the simplifications available for plots under 4 ha and for qualifying micro-producers.

03
TRACES NT and DDS

Registration through EU Login with mandatory 2FA, operator onboarding, and prepared Due Diligence Statements — so shipments are not held up at the last minute.

04
Legality and audit trail

We document land tenure, labour, and environmental requirements in the country of production and arrange the evidence so it survives a competent authority inspection.

Review and audit trail

EUFLR — EU Forced Labour Regulation

An EU-wide prohibition on placing, making available, or exporting products across all industries produced wholly or in part using forced or child labor.

  • Supply chain risk mapping — exposure to high-risk geographical tiers and sub-tier supplier networks.
  • Human rights due diligence — supplier codes of conduct, labor verification protocols, and contractual compliance clauses.
  • Customs audit readiness — evidence dossiers for competent authority inquiries and to avoid import bans.
  • Remediation frameworks — corrective action plans that address non-compliances without operational halt.

PPWR — Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation

Comprehensive regulatory overhaul mandating Design for Recycling (DfR), recycled content minimums, empty-space restrictions, and extended producer responsibility (EPR).

  • Packaging portfolio audits — material composition, recyclability performance grades, and packaging minimization.
  • Recycled content tracking — verifying and documenting post-consumer recycled (PCR) content in plastic and composite packaging.
  • Labeling & digital passports — standardized sorting pictograms and material passport readiness.
  • EPR compliance & fee optimization — aligning with Producer Responsibility Organizations and eco-modulation fees.
EU sustainability reportingCSRD · Taxonomy · CSDDD

CSRD • EU Taxonomy • CSDDD: Corporate Governance and Strategic Compliance

EU directives demand verifiable environmental and social data integrated into financial disclosures. We help companies turn compliance into capital access and client trust.

CSRD & ESRS (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive)

  • Double materiality assessment — impact materiality (inside-out) and financial materiality (outside-in) under ESRS.
  • ESG data architecture — auditable data-gathering across Scope 1–3 emissions, workforce metrics, and governance policies.
  • Audit-ready reporting — structuring the sustainability statement for Limited and Reasonable assurance.

EU Taxonomy

  • Activity classification — Taxonomy Eligibility and Alignment against Technical Screening Criteria across the 6 environmental objectives.
  • Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) & social safeguards — DNSH criteria and OECD/UN minimum social standards.
  • Financial KPI disclosures — calculating and validating compliant Turnover, CapEx, and OpEx ratios.

CSDDD (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive)

  • Value chain due diligence — risk-based systems to identify, prevent, and mitigate adverse human rights and environmental impacts.
  • Climate transition plans — Paris-aligned corporate transition roadmaps (1.5°C trajectory).
  • Grievance mechanisms & policies — stakeholder engagement channels and supplier oversight.
Assessments & partner readinessEcoVadis · Sedex

EcoVadis • Sedex: Verified Supply Chain Performance

Multinational buyers require third-party verification of your ESG practices. We bridge the gap between policy creation and tangible proof documents to maximize scorecards.

EcoVadis assessment support

  • Methodology gap analysis — diagnostic evaluation across Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
  • Policy & evidence engineering — documentation, KPIs, and audit-ready verification acceptable to EcoVadis analysts.
  • Medal advancement roadmaps — structured plans targeting Bronze, Silver, or Gold thresholds.

Sedex & SMETA audits

  • Sedex platform management — Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQ) and multi-site mapping.
  • SMETA audit preparation — site readiness across 2-Pillar and 4-Pillar frameworks (Labor, Health & Safety, Environment, Business Ethics).
  • Corrective Action Plan (CAPR) closure — fast-track resolution of post-audit non-compliances.
Stages

From requirements to an action plan

Review of sector, organisation size, customer requirements, and systems already in place. Then — mandatory steps and a priority plan.

01

Scope

Which regulations and ratings affect you today — and which arrive in the next few years.

02

Data & evidence

What you already collect, what is missing, and how to structure it without duplication.

03

Processes

Roles, policies, and internal control — tied to ISO systems if you have them.

04

Readiness

Reporting, due diligence, or a rating (EcoVadis, Sedex) — with a clear improvement plan.

ESG on working ISO systems

If ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 or 50001 is already running or being implemented, part of the evidence already exists. We map it to regulation and rating requirements.
