The EU Battery Regulation (EUBR) is set to transform how businesses design, source, manufacture, and manage products containing batteries. With new requirements on circularity, transparency, and due diligence, the regulation will impact a wide range of industries, from automotive and electronics to IT, toys, and wearables.
What’s changing?
The EUBR introduces a comprehensive approach to battery lifecycle management, aiming to reduce carbon footprints, increase recyclability, and ensure batteries are easy to replace. It’s not just about compliance, these changes are an opportunity to build resilience, unlock competitive advantage, and demonstrate leadership in sustainability.
Why does readiness matter?
The regulation’s complexity means there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Requirements span product design, labelling, supply chain transparency, and waste management. Many organisations are still grappling with ambiguities, evolving guidelines, and the need to engage multiple functions; from procurement and quality, to product development and ESG.
How can you get ahead?
Step 1: Know where you are
Before you can move forward, you need to understand your current position. A clear baseline helps you understand what actions need to be taken and begin making changes if needed.
Step 2: Engage all functions
EUBR is truly a cross-functional regulation. It is vital that all functions understand their role and work together to meet the regulation.
Step 3: Use the regulation as a springboard
To take the next step, businesses can go beyond ticking boxes, they are using this moment to build traceability and data quality that goes beyond minimum standards, create resilience and transparency that customers value, and position themselves as sustainability leaders.
Understanding your readiness
Our rapid EUBR readiness assessment is designed to help you cut through the complexity. In just a few targeted questions, we can gauge your organisation’s readiness against six critical elements of the regulation, that will allow us to share some tailored insights on where to focus next.
We will follow up the assessment with a discussion with one of our team who has experience in practically implementing the regulation requirements with clients. Whether you’re just starting or looking to go beyond minimum compliance, our assessment will help you prioritise actions and turn regulatory change into business value.
Who should take the assessment?
If your products, no matter the industry, contain batteries and are marketed in the EU, this regulation will affect you. Now is the time to understand your current state, engage the right stakeholders, and build a roadmap for compliance and beyond.
