Powering Responsible Supply Chains: Implementing Battery Due Diligence in a Complex Regulatory Landscape

As Europe accelerates its transition to a sustainable and electrified future, the spotlight is firmly on battery value chains. Join Responsible Business Alliance and Kumi Consulting to learn how leading actors are bracing for the wave of sustainability due diligence and forced labour rules that are about to impact these value chains. With implementation of the EU Batteries Regulation (EUBR) one year out, EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) three years out, and in between that, the expected entry into application of the EU Forced Labor Regulation (EUFLR) in December 2027, the stakes are high.

During this event, senior experts will update you on the latest developments regarding battery due diligence and unpack the practical implementation of major EU due diligence requirements. The discussion will focus in particular on how to achieve cross-regulatory preparedness through integrated, risk-based approaches and prioritisation, highlighting common challenges as well as opportunities.

Discussion questions will include:

How does EUBR due diligence interact with CSDDD and EUFLR – and vice-versa?
What does it mean in practice for economic operators sourcing critical battery materials to manage several due diligence obligations in parallel?
Can you build robust, unified due diligence systems with enough flexibility to adapt to different mandatory requirements?
What opportunities exist for regulatory harmonisation, efficiency, and meaningful impact on responsible sourcing

Join us for a dynamic exchange on turning regulatory ambition into operational reality – while strengthening resilience, transparency, and sustainability across Europe’s battery ecosystem.
