7 ESG trends to watch in 2026
For those involved in ESG, 2025 brought significant disruption, marked by political uncertainty, regulatory delays and rollbacks, pressures on energy security and cost, and geopolitical tensions. As businesses enter 2026, they face a fragmented and dynamic regulatory, legal and political landscape.
The ‘E’ of ESG: Sustainable products - new EU Ecodesign rules for unsold consumer products
The EU Commission is poised to adopt implementing rules for the EU Ecodesign Regulation for Sustainable Products (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR) that will give effect to new audited transparency requirements and a destruction ban for certain unsold consumer products contained in ESPR. The EU Commission recently published draft delegated and implementing acts specifying these rules. This blog analyses the draft rules and unpacks the practical implications for enterprises doing business in the EU.
How the EU Deforestation Regulation affects your business
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR, the Regulation) aims to minimise global deforestation and forest degradation (see our earlier blog here). To this end, the EUDR bans relevant commodities and products linked to deforestation or forest degradation from the EU market and imposes binding due diligence obligations on companies that import, export, or trade certain products made from high-risk commodities.
Electric vehicle charging: new EU regulatory requirements
The European Green Deal calls for a 90% reduction in transport emissions as part of the EU’s aim to become climate-neutral by 2050. As a first step, the EU has committed in its ‘Fit for 55’ package to reduce its net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. To achieve these ambitious goals in the mobility sector, a dense network of easily accessible electric vehicle charging points is needed.
New mobility - key issues to consider
Mobility without CO2 emissions Reducing CO2 emissions from the transport sector is one of the key ambitions of policy makers – not just in the EU, but globally. To achieve this goal, significant and transformative investments in new zero-emission vehicle models, battery manufacturing capacities and – most importantly – EV charging infrastructure will be required. This offers significant opportunities, albeit under a still developing legislative framework.
