Prepare the environmental evidence international buyers already request

We help exporters in Latin America, the US, Canada and Europe anticipate carbon, product and compliance requirements.

Industry context

Environmental data has shifted from nice-to-have to a condition of market access: the EU layers mandatory instruments — CBAM, the EUDR and CSRD sustainability reporting — that push emissions, traceability and due-diligence obligations onto non-EU suppliers. At the same time, large buyers cascade those demands across their supply chain before placing orders.

Pressures

What usually triggers the need

In order of priority, the pressures that lead this industry to look for environmental evidence

01
CBAM and European markets
The EU requires declaring embedded emissions to import without surcharges.
02
Corporate buyers
Large customers passing their climate targets down to every supplier.
03
Environmental documentation
Growing requests for data, certificates and traceability for each shipment.

Outcomes

What this industry needs to achieve

Protect customer accessMeet environmental requirements to avoid losing contracts and markets.
Reduce uncertaintyAnticipate the data that will be asked and prepare it before it's mandatory.
Answer fasterKeep evidence structured to reply in days, not weeks.

Sector keys

What you should keep in mind

The standards, requirements and buyer demands that now set the environmental agenda for this sector

CBAM carbon cost
From January 2026 CBAM requires EU buyers to account for the embedded carbon of cement, steel, aluminium, fertilizers, electricity and hydrogen; without verified data, exporters of those goods lose competitiveness.
EUDR traceability
The EUDR requires due diligence and GPS origin data for cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm, soy, rubber and wood, plus derived products; large operators comply from December 2026.
Data cascade (Scope 3)
EU buyers subject to CSRD report value-chain emissions, so they routinely request carbon and sustainability data from suppliers outside the EU.
Ratings and standards
Multinationals make purchases conditional on EcoVadis, CDP or Sedex/SMETA audits, and anchor product requests in ISO 14067 or the GHG Protocol Product Standard.
