EU legislation.

EU legislation is increasingly shaping how companies work with environmental and social responsibility. For the textile industry, new regulations are introducing greater transparency, stronger due diligence requirements, and more detailed documentation of products and supply chains.

At Kentaur, we closely follow the development of new EU initiatives and continuously adapt our processes to meet upcoming requirements. Many of these regulations align with work we are already doing through our responsibility strategy, including supply chain transparency, environmental impact assessments, and responsible sourcing.

Our aim is not only to comply with new regulations, but to be prepared well before they take effect.

Looking ahead

EU legislation related to product documentation, environmental reporting and supply chain responsibility continues to develop. At Kentaur, we closely follow upcoming initiatives that may influence the textile industry in the coming years.

Several new regulations are expected to introduce stronger requirements for supply chain due diligence, product information and environmental data. We monitor these developments closely and assess how they may affect our products, processes and data systems.

Among the initiatives we currently follow are the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), the EU Taxonomy framework and the upcoming Textile Labelling Regulation.

Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)

The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive introduces requirements for companies to identify and address human rights and environmental risks in their operations and supply chains.

Although Kentaur is not directly subject to the directive, we follow its development closely and align our due diligence processes with the principles behind it.

EU Taxonomy

The EU Taxonomy establishes a framework for classifying economic activities based on environmental criteria.

We monitor the development of the framework and assess how it may influence future reporting requirements.

Textile Labelling Regulation

The revision of the EU Textile Labelling Regulation is expected to introduce updated requirements for product information and textile labelling.

We follow the development of this regulation to ensure that our product information and documentation remain aligned with future requirements.
