ESG compliance

Staying ahead of regulation means staying ahead of the curve

Sustainability is no longer an option: regulators and lawmakers are raising the bar through regulations like the CSRD, EUDR, CBAM and ESPR. With major changes following the Omnibus proposal, companies are left unsure where to allocate resources and how to navigate the EU regulatory landscape.

That’s where our ESG experts come in. Through extensive experience across various international sustainability standards and frameworks, we turn complexity into clarity and ensure your company stays ahead of regulatory demands.

  • Freeing your supply shain from deforestation.

    The EU Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR) aims to curb the EU’s role in global deforestation by regulating high-risk commodities like soy, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, cattle, timber, and rubber. Products tied to deforestation may be banned from the EU, with penalties up to 4% of annual turnover. Good Growth Collective helps businesses achieve EUDR compliance through our step-by-step guide, supporting supply chain mapping, due diligence, risk assessments, and sustainable policy integration.

  • Sustainability solutions across borders.

    The European Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) takes effect in 2026, imposing new carbon taxes on imports across six high-emission sectors: aluminium, cement, electricity, fertilisers, hydrogen, and iron & steel. Companies importing these goods into the EU must report their embedded carbon emissions or face increased tariffs, rising costs, and closer regulatory scrutiny. At Good Growth Collective, we help importers prepare for CBAM with tailored strategies that ensure compliance, reduce risk, and support long-term sustainability goals.

  • Circular design, linear benefits.

    The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) is central to the EU’s shift toward a circular, sustainable economy. It sets mandatory sustainability standards for nearly all physical products sold in the EU, emphasising resource and energy efficiency, durability, recyclability, and circular design. Non-compliance can result in penalties and limited market access. Good Growth Collective helps businesses understand the ESPR, embed sustainable design practices, and stay compliant, while turning regulatory challenges into innovation opportunities.

Why is ESG compliance important for your business? 

ESG compliance is essential for protecting market access, preventing costly penalties, and building trust with regulators, investors, and customers. With EU regulations like CSRD, EUDR, CBAM, and ESPR, companies must meet high standards for transparency, sustainability, and responsible sourcing. Acting early avoids rushed, expensive adjustments and helps position your business for ESG-conscious tenders and partnerships. Strong compliance also signals resilience and leadership in an increasingly regulated market. 

Which regulations apply to your business?

The most relevant ESG regulations depend on your company size, products, activities, and sector. Many EU companies face obligations under the CSRD or VSME standards, supply chain requirements in the EUDR, carbon reporting under CBAM, and product circularity requirements from the ESPR. Other EU regulations like the PPWR and EED, national laws and sector-specific standards may also apply. Our ESG compliance scan identifies all current and upcoming obligations so you can act strategically, invest efficiently, and stay ahead of evolving requirements. 

When should you start with ESG compliance? 

The best time to start is now. Regulations such as the CSRD, EUDR, CBAM, and ESPR already impose requirements on many EU companies. Preparation often takes months, involving data collection, stakeholder engagement, and reporting. Starting early ensures you meet current obligations and prepare for upcoming changes, as well as avoid the risks and costs of last-minute compliance. 

What software tooling and partners do we use for ESG compliance?

We use a tailored mix of compliance mapping tools, regulatory databases, and ESG data management systems to match your needs. These include our ESG compliance scan that can cross-reference your business model against a database of 100+ regulations, as well as specific tools per regulation. Depending on the regulation, we make use of the software from one of our partners, for example for carbon accounting, life cycle assessments, or supply chain traceability. All tools are selected to ensure accuracy, audit readiness, and long-term usability.
