A coalition of 25 civil society organisations, businesses and labour organisations urge policymakers to ensure swift and full implementation of the EU batteries regulation due diligence obligations.
Since the adoption of the EU Batteries Regulation in 2023, the need for sustainable batteries in Europe has only accelerated. The due diligence rules, set out in the regulation, will be a turning point for green and ethical batteries, and will help drive greater supply chain resilience. However, swift and full implementation of the rules is key.
T&E, alongside 25 other organisations and businesses, have called for the full entry into force of the due diligence obligations, no later than August 2025, in order to ensure a world-leading battery supply chain in Europe and a commitment to clean and ethical batteries. The battery due diligence rules, which are already being implemented by industry, must not be included in the current simplification agenda.
In a letter to European Commission Executive Vice-President for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy Stéphane Séjourné and Commissioner for Environment, Water Resilience, and a Competitive Circular Economy Jessika Roswall, the groups call on the Commission to finalise the guidelines for implementation of the due diligence requirements and establish robust criteria for recognising due diligence schemes, as foreseen under the Batteries Regulation.
