The Escalating Regulatory Challenge – UFLPA & CSDDD Demand Unprecedented Due Diligence
Are You Prepared for UFLPA Detentions and CSDDD Reporting Mandates?
Governments worldwide are enacting stringent regulations to combat forced labor and ensure corporate accountability for human rights and environmental impacts. Navigating the UFLPA and the upcoming CSDDD presents significant challenges:
- UFLPA’s Rebuttable Presumption: The immense burden of proving goods are not made with forced labor from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) or by designated entities, leading to potential shipment detentions and costly delays.
- CSDDD’s Expansive Due Diligence: The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive mandates comprehensive human rights and environmental due diligence (HREDD) across company operations and value chains, with stringent reporting and potential sanctions.
- Data & Traceability Demands: Both regulations require unprecedented levels of supply chain visibility, often down to raw material origins, and robust documentation of due diligence efforts.
- Rapid Response Requirements: The need to quickly provide detailed evidence and reports to customs authorities (like CBP for UFLPA) or national supervisory bodies (for CSDDD).
- Reputational & Financial Risks: Failure to comply can result in significant financial penalties, operational disruptions, and severe damage to your brand and stakeholder trust.
BRAND Supply Chain Management equips you with targeted capabilities to meet these exacting regulatory demands head-on.
