Sustainability legislation change fast.
Stay ahead – not buried.

Good morning,

This week, EU lawmakers are focusing on making green rules more practical for everyday businesses. From farming help to updated supply chain laws, the goal is to balance environmental targets with real-world costs. Here is what you need to know to stay ahead.

Helping our farmers

Let's start with agriculture. Farmers have had a tough time lately with rising prices for things like fertilizer. To help, the EU has approved emergency funding and flexible rules for farmers to keep food supply chains secure. This package offers quick cash and also rewards eco-friendly practices.

At the same time, the EU is making moves to protect local organic food. The Parliament is working on new organic labeling rules for imports and small sellers. These changes will shield European farmers from unfair competition and make it easier for small businesses to sell organic food directly to shoppers.

Clearer supply chains

There is also big news for companies preparing for the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). The European Commission released updated product lists and new IT tools for EUDR compliance. Some items like leather are no longer on the list, while others have been added. They also simplified the online reporting system, which is great news for smaller businesses.
