Understanding the European Green Deal (EGD)

The European Green Deal is the EU’s ambitious plan to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, while promoting sustainable growth and green innovation.
This roadmap introduces a wide range of policies that will significantly influence imports, exports, and supply chainsworldwide — particularly in industries such as agriculture, food processing, and manufacturing.
Key objectives of the EGD:
-
Achieving climate neutrality across all EU member states.
-
Promoting renewable energy and resource efficiency.
-
Implementing the Farm-to-Fork Strategy for sustainable food systems.

These policies are expected to come fully into force within the next two years, and exporters will need to adapt to new sustainability standards and reporting requirements.
