France Bans PFAS: What This Signals for European Businesses France has officially banned PFAS — the so-called "forever chemicals" — known for their persistence in the environment and links to health risks. This decision will reshape industries that rely on PFAS for water-repellent, non-stick, and stain-resistant coatings, particularly: Fashion & textiles, Food packaging and Manufacturing. France joins countries like Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Belgium, who have already taken regulatory steps against PFAS — with the EU now moving toward broader restrictions. For European businesses, this isn’t just a challenge — it’s a transformative opportunity to: ✅ Shift to sustainable, PFAS-free materials ✅ Future-proof supply chains ✅ Lead in green innovation SALI encourages brands and manufacturers to see this moment as a catalyst for building cleaner, more resilient business models that align with the EU’s sustainability ambitions. #PFASBan #SustainableFashion #ChemicalFree #RegulatoryCompliance #GreenManufacturing #CircularEconomy #FutureOfBusiness

Understanding ESRS E1: What Every Business Needs to Know The landscape of sustainability reporting is evolving, and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) are at the core of this transformation. One of the most critical standards is ESRS E1 — Climate Change, a mandatory disclosure requirement under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Here’s what ESRS E1 means for your business: Clear Reporting on Greenhouse Gas Emissions — including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, in alignment with ISO 14064. Disclosure of Transition Plans — outlining how your organization will reduce its climate impact and align with climate targets. Climate Risk Assessment — identifying both physical and transition risks that could affect your business model. Financial Implications — reporting on how climate-related risks and opportunities impact financial performance and strategy. Alignment with SDG 13 (Climate Action) — showing tangible contributions toward global climate goals. At SALI, we help companies decode and integrate ESRS E1 into their sustainability reports, ensuring not just compliance, but clarity and confidence in reporting. ESRS E1 is not just a framework — it’s a call to action. Is your organization prepared to meet it? Let SALI guide your compliance journey.

Canada Eliminates Consumer Carbon Tax: What It Means for Sustainability Reporting On March 17, 2025, Canada’s newly elected Prime Minister, Mark Carney, signed an order eliminating the country’s consumer carbon tax, effective April 1, 2025. This tax, introduced in 2019, was meant to drive emissions reductions by pricing carbon. However, Carney cited its divisive impact and economic strain as reasons for its removal. While this decision eases financial pressure on consumers, it shifts the sustainability landscape for businesses. At SALI, we recognize that evolving climate policies require organizations to stay ahead in their ESG reporting. With this change, businesses must now navigate: ✅ Stricter Emissions Regulations for Large Corporations – The Output-Based Pricing System (OBPS) will be tightened, holding major polluters accountable. ✅ Carbon Border Adjustments (CBAM) – A tax on imports to prevent companies from shifting emissions-intensive production to countries with weaker climate policies. ✅ Incentives for Sustainable Investments – Support for businesses adopting clean energy, green buildings, and electric transport. With carbon pricing evolving, transparent sustainability reporting is more critical than ever. Companies must align with global compliance frameworks like CSRD and IFRS to maintain investor trust and regulatory compliance. SALI offers AI-powered sustainability reporting tools that help businesses track emissions, measure ESG impact, and stay compliant with changing regulations.

UK Launches Revenue Certainty Mechanism to Boost Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) – What This Means for Sustainability Reporting The UK Department for Transport has launched a consultation on a Revenue Certainty Mechanism (RCM) to support Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production, aiming to reduce risk for investors by ensuring steady income despite fluctuating fuel prices. This initiative aligns with the UK’s SAF Mandate, which requires jet fuel to include at least 2% SAF by 2025, scaling up to 22% by 2040. While SAF can cut lifecycle GHG emissions by up to 85%, its widespread adoption faces barriers like high production costs (estimated at £600M–£2B per plant) and limited supply. The RCM, funded by a variable levy on jet fuel suppliers, follows the polluter pays principle, ensuring those benefiting from fossil aviation fuel bear the cost. Why This Matters for Sustainability Reporting For airlines and fuel suppliers, this initiative underscores the growing regulatory pressure to disclose and mitigate carbon emissions. With the increasing integration of SAF, companies will need robust sustainability reporting frameworks to track their compliance, impact, and financial risks associated with decarbonization. At SALI, we help businesses navigate these regulatory shifts with AI-driven sustainability assessments and reporting tools that ensure compliance with evolving frameworks like CSRD and IFRS Sustainability Standards. As sustainability regulations tighten, transparent, data-driven reporting will be key to staying ahead. #SustainableAviation #SAF #SustainabilityReporting #Decarbonization #ClimateAction

Measuring Beyond Carbon: The Circularity Index Revolution The Sustainability Gap While most companies measure carbon footprints, many overlook a critical dimension of sustainability: circularity. This represents both an environmental oversight and a missed business opportunity. The Circularity Index (CI) The Circularity Index (CI) evaluates how effectively your company is transitioning from linear "take-make-dispose" models toward regenerative closed-loop systems across your entire value chain. Three Core CI Dimensions 1. Material Recirculation ✳️ What percentage of your products use recycled materials? ✳️ Have you established systems to recapture post-consumer materials? ✳️ Are you minimizing virgin material extraction? 2. Product Longevity ✳️ Are your products built for durability or planned obsolescence? ✳️ Do you offer repair programs or modular components? ✳️ What is your products' average useful life versus industry standards? 3. Regenerative Practices ✳️ Do your operations restore natural systems? ✳️ Have you implemented regenerative sourcing? ✳️ Does your company invest in ecosystem restoration? Business Benefits of High CI Scores Companies with strong circularity consistently outperform peers in: 🔹Regulatory compliance 🔹Operational efficiency (25-40% resource cost reduction) 🔹Supply chain resilience 🔹Brand loyalty 🔹Investor appeal Follow us for regular insights on circularity assessment, implementation strategies, and sustainability trends that can transform your business while regenerating our planet. #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #CircularityIndex #CorporateSustainability #CircularTransformation #SustainableDevelopment
