Global Supply Chain Regulations: What Businesses Need to Know

The EU’s CBAM introduces a carbon price on imports of certain carbon-intensive goods, aligning them with the EU Emissions Trading System. It aims to prevent carbon leakage and encourage cleaner production globally. Businesses must calculate embedded emissions and submit verified data through a phased compliance schedule.

Learn how NQC helps map emissions data and automate supplier reporting.

The CSDDD requires large companies to identify, prevent, and mitigate adverse human rights and environmental impacts throughout their value chains. Due diligence obligations extend to suppliers and business partners globally, driving new expectations for responsible sourcing and governance.

NQC supports end-to-end due diligence and risk detection across complex supply networks.

The CSRD expands sustainability reporting obligations to thousands of companies, introducing mandatory disclosure under the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). It brings ESG data to the same level of scrutiny as financial information — demanding robust, verifiable, and standardised reporting processes.

NQC enables data-driven ESG reporting and supplier performance analytics.

The EUBR governs the entire lifecycle of batteries — from design and sourcing of raw materials to recycling and carbon footprint disclosure. It enforces traceability, due diligence, and sustainability criteria for all battery producers and importers entering the EU market.

NQC helps manage supply chain traceability and supplier compliance in line with EUBR requirements.

The EUDR prohibits the import and trade of products linked to deforestation or forest degradation. Companies must implement due diligence systems to ensure their goods are deforestation-free and compliant with local laws in production countries.

NQC’s SURVEIL solution provides real-time supply chain risk monitoring and supplier verification to support EUDR compliance.

The EUFLR bans products made with forced or child labour from entering or being sold within the EU. It requires organisations to maintain traceability, conduct supply chain audits, and verify ethical practices across all tiers of production.
