The fourth reason why companies choose to use Enhesa Sustainable Chemistry is to comply with international reporting and sustainability requirements. A couple we frequently hear include the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and the EU Taxonomy (under the European Green Deal). CSRD requires companies to report on the environmental impact of chemicals, which requires more insights into the hazards across each company. EU Taxonomy allows companies to share a common definition of economic activities that can be considered environmentally sustainable, while aiming to eliminate green washing. Companies are being held more accountable for their sustainability progress each year, so many lean on our team for support. Using our helpful dashboards that provide list screening and chemical hazard assessment data across 23 endpoints, our clients can easily track progress on initiatives.

The plenary session of the European Parliament in April 2024 is *the* moment for many sustainability-themed legislative initiatives. ❔ During the past 4 years, a wave of regulatory initiatives has surged, encompassing most areas of sustainability and ESG. The ESG Super Spring has brought a series of legislative finalizations that are steering the EU towards a (legally?) sustainable future. Here's a brief overview of selected major initiatives to keep on the radar this week: 📗 Ecodesign Regulation: Extends Ecodesign requirements to almost all products, with a special focus on i.a the textile industry. 📗 Right to Repair (R2R) Directive: Aims to make repairs more cost-effective and accessible, promoting sustainable business models. 📗 Forced Labour Regulation: Prohibits products made using forced labor from the EU market, with immediate effect post-transition period. 📗 Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR): Sets ambitious packaging reduction targets to encourage reuse, refill, and recycling practices. 📗 Regulation on Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming: Specifies carbon storage eligible projects. 📗 Revision of Waste Shipment rules: Expands objectives to include climate neutrality and the achievement of the circular economy and zero pollution. 📗 Nature Restoration: Sets binding restoration targets for specific habitats and species. (Has it been finally dropped from EP plenary week agenda?) 📗 Revision of certain rules of Waste Framework Directive: Focuses on textile waste management and food waste minimizing targets. 📗 Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD): Establishes a corporate due diligence duty. 🔴 plus 📗 Green Claims Directive: Awaiting discussion post-European elections, this directive will provide a detailed framework for environmental claims in commercial practices. 👉 Stay tuned for a follow-up on the complete analysed list of all items under ESG #sustainability #esg #esgsuperspring #csddd #PPWR #FLR #ecodesing #sustainabilitylaw

📚 Clarifying Sustainability Jargon 🌐 In the sustainability landscape, precision is paramount. Let's delve into key concepts using exact definitions from established references: - **LCA (Life Cycle Assessment):** Guided by ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards, LCA comprehensively evaluates environmental aspects across a product's life cycle. - **Product Carbon Footprint:** ISO 14067 specifies the principles and requirements for quantifying the carbon footprint of products. - **Environmental Footprint:** Rooted in the European Commission's methods, PEF (Product Environmental Footprint) and OEF (Organizational Environmental Footprint) assess a product's and organization's overall environmental impacts. - **Product GHG Emissions:** The GHG Protocol sets the standard for quantifying and managing greenhouse gas emissions associated with products. - **Environmental Product Declaration (EPD):** ISO 14025 defines EPD principles, while ISO 15804 specifies the core rules for EPDs, ensuring consistent and reliable environmental information. Let's embrace these precise definitions to foster clear and informed sustainability discussions! 🌍💼 #SustainabilityTerms #ISOStandards #EnvironmentalMetrics

This week in the #CircularEconomy, a flurry of activity from Brussels saw the EU Parliament approve four proposals that will force comprehensive changes to how European and international corporations must design products, disclose sustainability measures, and facilitate recycling, reuse and repair. 1️⃣ Packaging and Waste Regulation (#PPWR) Tackles national and corporate packaging waste, sets reuse and refill targets, and mandates a proportional increase in recyclable packaging. 2️⃣ Ecodesign Regulation Sets heightened standards for durability, reparability, energy efficiency, and recyclability. Also enforces a Digital Product Passport (#DPP) and includes rules to prevent the destruction of unsold products. 3️⃣ Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (#CSDDD) Requires affected companies to end or mitigate their adverse impact on human rights and the environment, as well as commit to transition plans compatible with the Paris Agreement global warming limit of 1.5°C. 4️⃣ Right to Repair Directive Mandates timely and cost-effective repair services from manufacturers, and requires them to inform customers about their right to repair. It also enforces national measures to promote affordable repair. - All of these proposals now require final approval from the European Council, and each carries its own timeline before it becomes law. 👇Read about these proposals and more curated circularity news at the link below.
