Traceability is the new battleground in automotive ESG compliance. Under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), automotive OEMs are being held accountable for every gram of natural rubber, leather, and wood they source — across multi-tier, global supply chains. But here's the reality: Supply chain opacity remains high Supplier digitalization maturity is low And due diligence is no longer optional — it's enforceable To help navigate this new landscape, we've created a guide: "EUDR Automotive Compliance: Essential Checklist". It breaks down what ESG, Sustainability, and Procurement leaders need to know — and do — to stay ahead.

At this year’s Sustainable Commodities and Landscapes Forum in Amsterdam, our CTO Florent Bouguin will contribute to a panel around a critical question: How can internal teams align on risk, resilience, and compliance—and turn that alignment into commercial advantage? Fragmented KPIs and siloed priorities often stall progress. But when procurement, sustainability, operations and finance work from a shared playbook, the result is measurable value—for business, for climate goals, and for supply chain resilience. To secure your place: https://lnkd.in/ghefQNnH About the event: The Innovation Forum brings together the private sector, NGOs, policymakers and thought leaders to accelerate solutions for sustainable sourcing, nature-positive land use, and responsible commodity production.

Who owns EUDR in your organization? This guide shows how to make that compliance a shared responsibility—across procurement, legal, IT, and beyond. Which team carries the most weight in your view?

Straight from NYC Climate Week - Our CTO's Take! Last week, the Consumer Impact Summit made one thing clear: sustainability without visibility is just wishful thinking. This week, at NYC Climate Week, the urgency is only growing louder. In a short clip, our CTO, Florent Bouguin breaks it down: -> You cannot reduce what you cannot trace. And if you want to go beyond carbon—to tackle nature, human rights, and true supply chain resilience—you need data that’s not just real, but defensible. That means transactional traceability. That means inter-tier visibility. That means being ready—not just for Scope 3 reporting, but for what’s coming next. In your view, what should organizations do now to shift from reactive to resilient? Share your thoughts in the comments. #Scope3 #ClimateWeekNYC #SupplyChainTransparency #ESGCompliance #SustainableProcurement

Today, the EU Commission is considering postponing the EUDR deadline by yet another year. This news doesn’t surprise us. Over the past 35 years at OPTEL, while developing and integrating complex compliance solutions across multiple industries, we’ve seen most regulations postponed at least once. These traceability regulations are highly complex and affect the revenues and operations of stakeholders of all sizes. That’s why our philosophy has always been to design solutions—like Optchain, VerifyBrand, TrackSafe—that deliver value beyond compliance. By doing so, the return on investment starts on day one, while also preparing organizations for their compliance journey.

Building responsible supply chains starts with visibility. In the latest Innovation Forum podcast, our CTO Florent Bouguin discusses with Ian Welsh about how traceability creates cross-functional alignment—bringing procurement, compliance, and ESG together into shared data ecosystems. Discover how industry leaders are turning visibility into an advantage: reducing compliance costs, driving resilience, and strengthening supply chain competitiveness. #ResponsibleSourcing #SupplyChainVisibility #ESGLeadership #optchai https://lnkd.in/ei7N_wpb
