From Reporting to Diligence: Automating Compliance Across Global Regulations
Compliance used to mean reporting. Increasingly, it means proving.
Over 25 regulatory frameworks now govern how goods move across borders — EUDR, CSDDD, UFLPA, CBAM, LkSG and more. Each asks for broadly similar information about where things come from and what happened there, and each asks for it in a different format, on a different timeline, against a different threshold. Most companies are answering with supplier questionnaires that were never designed to carry this weight.
Join Epoch, Infor, Linklaters, and the WWF Markets Institute over lunch during NY Climate Week for a candid conversation on what comes next:
The proliferation problem: How many regimes are actually in play, and where they overlap
The case for standardization: The WWF Markets Institute's work on global trade standards, and how ~35 first-mile data points can satisfy 25+ frameworks
From reporting to diligence: Why regulators are moving past self-declared data, and what that means for how you evidence a claim
What automation looks like in practice: Connecting transactional and supplier data to independently sourced first-mile intelligence, without a single survey
An intimate, off-the-record lunch for sustainability, compliance, procurement and supply chain leaders. Space is limited.
