Helping you navigate increasing complexity
The regulatory landscape for environmental and sustainability compliance is changing rapidly — in scope, in detail, and across borders. New obligations regarding supply chains, packaging, reporting, and product standards are emerging at incredible pace, often with overlapping requirements across jurisdictions.
We can help you to identify and harness the opportunities arising from changing environmental and sustainability regulation and ensure that your company is ready to achieve full compliance.
Our team provides commercial and market-focussed advice to clients in a range of sectors, including in particular manufacturing clients, energy and waste companies, oil and gas operators and construction companies.
Sustainability reporting
Mandatory sustainability disclosure frameworks are multiplying, and businesses operating across borders face complex, overlapping reporting obligations under regimes at both EU and national level. PwC can help you determine which frameworks apply to your group, structure your data collection processes, and establish compliant reporting workflows.
Deforestation
Emerging regulation requires businesses to demonstrate their supply chains are free from deforestation, with due diligence and traceability obligations that can be complex and time-consuming to implement. PwC can support you with supply chain mapping, due diligence system design, and risk assessment to help you meet your obligations and avoid financial penalty.
Supply chain due diligence
As jurisdictions globally implement mandatory environmental and human rights due diligence, it can be challenging for businesses to assimilate and implement processes to comply with the changing requirements. PwC can support in tracking legislation, assessing how it applies to your group, and structuring governance, data, and due diligence systems to comply.
Forced labour
New prohibitions on products made with forced labour entering certain markets are creating significant due diligence and tracing challenges for importers and manufacturers across global supply chains. PwC can help you assess risk across your supply chain, implement tracing systems, and build governance frameworks that demonstrate compliance.
Packaging advice
Packaging regulation is evolving at pace, with new Extended Producer Responsibility schemes, packaging taxes, design & labelling standards, and declaration of conformity requirements creating a fast-moving compliance challenge. PwC can advise you on your specific obligations, advise on practical steps to meet changing requirements across multiple jurisdictions, and ultimately future-proof your packaging footprint.
SAP services
Embedding new environmental and sustainability compliance requirements into your existing ERP and business systems can be a significant operational challenge. PwC can help you configure SAP solutions to automate data capture, reporting and returns, and compliance workflows — so your systems can keep pace with the regulatory environment.
