    EU Green Deal Compliance Software — 2026 Buyer's Hub

    Build a software requirement from a specific obligation and evidence trail. A corporate disclosure, a goods import, a supplier risk decision and a product passport have different owners, data and outputs. This hub helps you decide which work belongs together and which needs a separate tool or module.

    Scope each obligation before choosing a platform

    Checked 19 September 2026. Directives need national implementation; regulations can have staggered application and product-specific measures. A proposal or work-plan priority is not an operative requirement.

    CSRD / ESRS

    Check the entity or group, financial year, national law and ESRS version. The enacted 2026 amendment narrows scope; the EU undertaking/group test requires more than 1,000 employees and more than EUR 450 million net turnover. Third-country routes require a separate assessment.

    Evidence to organise: An approved scope decision, reporting perimeter, materiality assessment and traceable disclosure inputs.

    Enacted sustainability amendments: Directive (EU) 2026/470

    Detailed CSRD scope guide

    EU Taxonomy

    First establish applicable disclosure obligations and the reporting period. Use the current delegated acts, including the 2026 simplification, to distinguish eligible activities from aligned ones.

    Evidence to organise: Activity-to-financial-data mapping and evidence supporting technical criteria, safeguards and the selected KPI calculation.

    Commission: Taxonomy delegated acts

    ESG platform evaluation

    CBAM

    Classify Annex I goods and the importer. The annual 50-tonne exemption applies to the relevant goods, excluding electricity and hydrogen. The definitive regime began on 1 January 2026.

    Evidence to organise: Reconciled import records, installation identity, actual/default calculation route and the declarant's review history.

    Commission: CBAM definitive regime

    Current CBAM workflow and dates

    CSDDD

    Apply the amended directive's company/group and jurisdiction tests. National transposition and application dates are distinct; do not treat a supplier request as proof that every recipient is directly in scope.

    Evidence to organise: A documented scope decision, risk assessment, prioritised actions, engagement and follow-up evidence.

    Commission: corporate sustainability due diligence

    Due-diligence workflow guide

    EUDR

    Check the covered commodity/product, operator role and applicable date. The Commission lists 30 December 2026 for large/medium operators and small/micro operators already under EUTR; other small/micro operators have 30 June 2027. Product additions can have separate start dates: check the current Annex I and the rule covering the specific goods.

    Evidence to organise: Traceable product and origin data, required location evidence and the applicable due-diligence records and submission references.

    Commission: deforestation-free products

    ESPR / Digital Product Passport

    Identify the applicable product-specific rule and date. The ESPR framework and a live registry do not make a passport compulsory for every product at once.

    Evidence to organise: Product identifiers, controlled data fields, source ownership, access rules and a tested update/publication process.

    Commission: Digital Product Passport

    Battery passport

    This comes from the Batteries Regulation, not a universal ESPR start date. From 18 February 2027 it covers EV and LMT batteries and industrial batteries over 2 kWh placed on the market or put into service.

    Evidence to organise: The correct battery category, passport record, information ownership and access/update responsibilities.

    Commission: battery-passport preparation guidance

    Right to repair

    Check covered goods, your manufacturer/seller role and national implementation. Repair obligations and customer remedies are not the same as a product-passport requirement.

    Evidence to organise: Product/repair eligibility, service requests, communication and repair information relevant to the applicable obligation.

    Commission: right to repair

    CBAM's first annual declaration and surrender for 2026 are due by 30 September 2027; certificate sales start on 1 February 2027. Commission: CBAM implementation notices Sector-specific rules, including methane, critical raw materials and net-zero industry measures, need separate activity-level review; this matrix is not an exhaustive legal register.

    Create one evidence process with distinct outputs

    1

    Approve scope and ownership

    Record entity, activity/product, jurisdiction, period, legal source and decision owner. Preserve why a requirement applies, does not apply or remains unresolved.

    2

    Map records and their sources

    Link financial, operational, customs, supplier and product records to their owners. Reuse data only where boundaries, units and methods match.

    3

    Review quality and changes

    Validate completeness, flag estimates and reconcile conflicting inputs. Keep the source version, calculation and approval history visible.

    4

    Produce the specific output

    Generate the disclosure, due-diligence record, declarant package or product record required. Confirm the publication/submission owner and retain acceptance evidence.

    Choose products for the demonstrated workflow

    Carbon inventory and disclosures

    The carbon accounting guide lists the researched products that meet one published rule (a carbon tag and a sourced carbon or GHG capability), separating measurement, reporting and plan conditions. A carbon inventory can support reporting inputs; it does not establish complete CSRD, Taxonomy or CBAM coverage.

    Carbon accounting products and boundaries

    Importer and supplier evidence

    The CBAM guide lists the products whose record documents a CBAM capability, by the same kind of rule, and identifies where a current calculation or filing demonstration is still needed.

    CBAM software evaluation

    For product passports and due diligence, require evidence for the named product/module and selected rule. General ESG, EHS or product-data marketing is not proof of end-to-end coverage.

    Researched products whose records name a Green Deal regulation

    This hub covers several different obligations, so the list uses the regulations as its test, not the word sustainability: the profile carries an ESG, carbon, supplier-due-diligence or EUDR tag, and its record holds a sourced capability that names CSRD or ESRS, double materiality, CBAM, EUDR or deforestation, the EU Taxonomy, CSDDD or a product passport. A card shows which regulation the record names, not whether the product covers the whole obligation, your national law or your role. Test the specific output in the demonstration below.

    Tekmon pays for a sponsored placement (above); its place in this list follows the same rule as every entry. How lists are ordered

    Same rule for every product: tagged “ESG Reporting”, “ESG Frameworks Reporting”, “Sustainability Reporting”, “Materiality Assessment”, “ESG & Sustainability”, “Sustainability & ESG”, “Carbon Accounting”, “Carbon Management”, “Emissions Reporting”, “Supplier Due Diligence”, “Supplier Sustainability”, “Supplier Data”, “EUDR Compliance”, “Modern Slavery”, “Scope 3 Emissions” or “Scope 3”, with a sourced EU Green Deal regulation (CSRD, CBAM, CSDDD, EUDR or product passport) capability in its record, or one the vendor stated to us, labelled as vendor-stated. 19 qualify; the first 8 are shown, then the other 11.

    Also meet the rule, in the same order (11)

    Bring a changed source record to the demo

    Show one applicable and one out-of-scope entity/product, including the rationale and reviewer.
    Load an incomplete supplier record and demonstrate ownership, reminders and correction history.
    Change a source value after approval and identify affected calculations and outputs.
    Show the legal/method version and distinguish current requirements from future scenario settings.
    Export the inputs, methods and approvals; test permissions for an external reviewer or supplier.
    Demonstrate the actual publication or submission handoff and its acceptance record.
    Itemise licence, configuration, data migration, integrations, support and any separate assurance or advisory work.

    Record evidence before scoring fit

    Use a scorecard for the workflow you have scoped. Keep untested requirements separate from demonstrated results and unsupported marketing claims.

    Primary sources and review limits

    9 sources, checked 19 Sep 2026

    EU sources checked on 19 September 2026. Related profiles retain their own source dates and scope. This hub supports procurement scoping; it does not determine obligations for a particular company or certify software compliance.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is there one EU Green Deal software requirement?
    No. This is a buyer's hub across different reporting, trade, due-diligence and product rules. Start with the legal entity, economic role, goods or activity, jurisdiction and reporting period before selecting software.
    Which CSRD changes matter for a software project?
    The enacted 2026 amendments narrow scope and require national implementation. Check the financial year and local law, including permitted relief for some former wave-one entities. The mandated future transition to reasonable assurance was removed. Use the detailed CSRD guide before fixing requirements.
    Are all Digital Product Passports required in 2027?
    No. ESPR requirements depend on applicable product-specific measures. The battery passport has its own legal basis and defined battery categories. Do not apply its start date to all electronics, textiles or other products.
    Does carbon accounting cover CBAM or due diligence?
    It may supply useful data, but it does not establish import classification, installation-level calculations, legal scope, supplier risk decisions or registry submission. Ask vendors to demonstrate the specific requirement and licensed module.
    Do smaller suppliers automatically have every duty?
    No. A request from a customer is distinct from direct legal scope. Record why information is requested, the applicable obligation or commercial purpose and who owns the response.
    How long should implementation take?
    Build stages around an approved scope, sample data, configured controls and accepted outputs. Use a pilot to measure effort. This hub does not claim a universal rollout time, price or compliance guarantee.
