Navigating the EU Batteries Regulation: Implications for US companies

If you wish to receive the materials from this session, please fill in the form.

The EU Batteries Regulation (EUBR) introduces the most comprehensive supply chain due diligence requirements seen in EU product legislation to date, with important implications for many US companies. These requirements exist in a context that intersects with existing, pending and proposed regulations, such as the U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), the EU Forced Labour Regulation, and the Critical Raw Materials Act, creating a more complex regulatory landscape that companies must now navigate.

In this webinar, Kumi and Ropes & Gray break down the EUBR’s requirements and explain what affected U.S. companies need to know and do now. The session covers:

• EUBR 101: A concise introduction to the due diligence and supply chain traceability requirements under the EU Batteries Regulation, including an update on recent developments, including the recent European Commission proposal to amend the EUBR and current implementation status.
• Implications for U.S. companies: Practical insight into what companies should be doing to assess exposure, prepare systems and meet evolving expectations.
• Regulatory linkages: How the EUBR compares to and connects with other key frameworks — including U.S. forced labor laws (like UFLPA) and EU instruments such as the Critical Raw Materials Act and Forced Labour Regulation.

This session is designed for legal, compliance, and supply chain professionals looking to stay ahead of the curve on global due diligence requirements - and to turn regulatory readiness into a strategic advantage.
