Executive Summary
The EU Batteries Regulation – which will replace the EU Battery Directive – has the primary objective of establishing a legal framework to make batteries more sustainable throughout their entire life cycle. By 2026, digital product passports (DPPs) will be required for all new batteries on the EU market, with the electric vehicle (EV) value chain at the forefront of the regulation due to its significance in the transition to a low-carbon economy. These passports will play a crucial role in ensuring transparency and accountability within the industry, as well as serving as the key information hub of the circular economy. Sustainability executives should use this report to better understand regulatory requirements and identify next steps to prepare their firm for compliance.
