2026 CIIC Successfully Held, Carbon Newture Launches Green Trade Public Service Platform
Green Trade Public Service Platform Officially Launched at CIIC
Global green trade compliance
Identify applicable rules, connect environmental data and build ongoing compliance capabilities
Global green trade compliance: managing overlapping rules and ongoing change
CBAM: carbon emissions become part of import compliance and costs
The EU CBAM definitive phase began on January 1, 2026, covering sectors including iron and steel, cement, aluminum, fertilizers, electricity and hydrogen. Chinese exporters need to supply compliant embedded emissions and production data continuously to support EU importers' reporting and certificate obligations.
- Iron and steel
- Aluminum
- Cement
- Fertilizers
- Electricity
- Hydrogen
EU Battery Regulation: deeper life cycle and supply chain requirements
The EU Battery Regulation establishes life cycle requirements for carbon footprints, performance and durability, recycled materials, supply chains and battery passports. From February 18, 2027, electric vehicle batteries, LMT batteries and industrial batteries above 2 kWh must have battery passports as required by the regulation.
- EV batteries
- LMT batteries
- Industrial batteries
- Battery value chain
ESPR: sustainability requirements across the product life cycle
ESPR establishes the EU's overarching ecodesign framework for sustainable products. Product-specific rules progressively address durability, repairability, resource efficiency, environmental performance and disclosure, bringing compliance into design, production and supply chain management.
- Textiles and apparel
- Iron, steel and aluminum
- Tires
- Furniture
- ICT and energy-related products
DPP: digital, traceable product compliance management
Digital product passports connect product identity with materials, environmental performance, repair and recycling information, with coverage expanding by product category under applicable legislation. Businesses need ongoing collection, updates, permissions and traceability rather than simply generating a QR code.
- Batteries
- Textiles and apparel
- Construction products
- Toys
- Detergents and other products
Sustainability disclosure: requirements extend through the value chain
CSRD and ESRS requirements continue to affect businesses operating in Europe. Large customers also pass climate, carbon and value chain requirements on to suppliers. With further EU adjustments to CSRD scope and ESRS simplification in 2026, businesses need to keep distinguishing direct obligations from customer-driven requirements rather than rely on a one-off assessment.
- Businesses operating in Europe
- Suppliers to European customers
- Global value chain businesses
Four questions your management system must answer
Which rules apply?
How do products, export markets, trading models and customer requirements determine relevant green trade rules?
How should data be prepared?
How do we connect product, material, energy, emissions and supply chain data into a reusable foundation?
How is compliance implemented?
How do shared data become calculations, disclosures, digital passports and verification results for different rules?
How do we keep responding to change?
How do we update data and compliance work as regulations, products, supply chains and customer requirements evolve?
Build an integrated green trade compliance system: rules, data, implementation and operations
01Identify rules and plan the pathwayclarify applicable requirements
Use product categories, export markets, trading models and customer requirements to identify regulations, implementation dates, standards and data needs. Assess existing capabilities and gaps to establish a clear compliance pathway and work plan.
02Unified databuild reusable environmental data
Align data standards, accounting definitions, owners and evidence management across products, materials, production, energy, emissions and supply chains. Use Cyacle to connect internal systems and partners into a credible, traceable and continuously maintained data foundation.
03Scenario-specific implementationdeliver professional compliance results
Combine product footprints, CBAM, digital product passports, supply chain carbon management, ESG disclosure and relevant verification services according to actual requirements. Turn shared data into calculations, reporting data, reports, passports and evidence. AI assists data processing, modeling and consistency checks, while specialists determine rules and review results.
04Ongoing compliance operationsrespond to regulatory and business changes
Track green trade rules, customer requirements and product and supplier changes. Update applicable requirements, data and deliverables while retaining historical data, workflows and evidence, moving from periodic projects to lasting compliance operations.
Turn green trade requirements into lasting compliance and market capabilities
Respond proactively to markets and customers
Identify product-specific rules and customer needs early and maintain the necessary data and evidence, reducing the risk that insufficient preparation disrupts exports, partnerships or market responses.
Make investment across compliance requirements more efficient
Identify data shared across CBAM, product footprints, DPP and sustainability disclosure to reduce duplicated collection, calculations and system development.
Retain and reuse environmental data
Turn data prepared for individual regulations into consistently managed environmental data assets for product carbon management, supply chain collaboration, ESG disclosure and customer responses.
Build lasting green competitiveness
Embed compliance in products, supply chains and daily operations. Use credible, traceable environmental and carbon data to respond to international markets and support customer development and long-term transition.
