Webinar Alert l The ESG Equation : From Risk to Opportunity Regulation is only part of the ESG equation.

Regulatory shifts are reshaping supply chains. New policies in the EU, France, and the UK signal stricter environmental and procurement standards—businesses must adapt fast. 📌 EU: The Clean Industrial Deal ▪️ Fast-tracks permitting for clean energy projects. ▪️ Reforms public procurement to favour sustainable practices. ▪️ Launches a €100B decarbonisation bank to unlock €400B in private investment. Why it matters: Stricter emissions targets mean supply chains must decarbonise—quickly. 📌 France: PFAS Ban Hits Key Industries ▪️ Prohibits 'forever chemicals' in textiles, packaging, and more. ▪️ Forces brands to certify and transition to PFAS-free alternatives. ▪️ Raises costs and supply chain complexity for impacted industries. Why it matters: Sustainability compliance is no longer optional—it’s a market requirement. 📌 UK: Procurement Act 2023 Now in Effect ▪️ New sustainability criteria for public sector contracts. ▪️ Prioritises green and ethical suppliers. ▪️ Reshapes procurement strategies across industries. Why it matters: Public contracts will favour sustainable suppliers—businesses must align or lose out. 🔎 The bigger picture: ▪️ Regulations are no longer just reporting requirements—they're market-shaping forces. ▪️ Sustainable procurement isn’t a ‘nice-to-have’—it’s a compliance necessity. ▪️ Supply chains must move from reactive to proactive—risk mitigation starts now. #SustainabilityCompliance #Procurement #SupplyChain #RiskManagement #Decarbonisation #LegislationUpdates
