Are you looking to stay ahead of evolving EU sustainability regulations and turn ESG compliance into corporate competitive advantages? If so, this seminar is tailor-made for you, in collaboration by the DCCC.


As the European Union introduces a new generation of sustainability regulations - including the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Forced Labour Regulation, Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), and Digital Product Passports (DPP) - companies operating in global supply chains are facing rapidly evolving compliance requirements and increasing stakeholder expectations.


At the same time, biodiversity and climate considerations are becoming central to corporate risk management, double materiality assessments, investor decision-making, and market access.


To help businesses navigate this changing landscape, the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in China together with the Danish Chamber of Commerce in China (DCCC) and Preferred by Nature is pleased to invite you to a member exclusive seminar exploring the strategic implications of emerging EU regulations and practical approaches to ESG implementation, targeting executives and sustainability professionals.


Key Discussion Topics

  • Understanding the latest EU sustainability regulatory landscape and implementation timelines
  • Translating compliance requirements into practical business and supply chain actions
  • Integrating biodiversity and climate considerations into corporate ESG strategies
  • Building robust due diligence, traceability, and responsible sourcing systems
  • Preparing for future market expectations and competitive advantages in sustainability
