They discuss how upstream value chain due diligence checkpoints can help transparency and ease audit fatigue.

Plus: Ian talks with Hanna Halmari, Innovation Forum’s head of conferences, about the key trends in packaging, from compliance under PPWR's incomplete framework, alongside the impact of EPR’s roll out, to the contrast between refill and reuse models in Europe and recycling-led innovation in the US. 

And, banks funding deforestation risks continue; priorities for European competitiveness to 2040; a UN programme to cut harmful pesticides and farm plastics expands to 15 countries; car battery supply chains linked to deforestation in Indonesia; and, waste app Too Good To Go expands beyond food, in the news digest with Babette Pagès.
