Description
The Complete EU Battery Regulation Course provides a clear, practical, and comprehensive overview of the EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542) — the first European law covering the entire life cycle of batteries, from design and production to reuse, recycling, and sustainability reporting. The course explains how this Regulation transforms the European market by linking environmental goals, human rights due diligence, and circular economy principles into one coherent legal framework.

It begins by exploring why the Battery Regulation matters, its global impact, and who it applies to — from manufacturers and importers to producers under Extended Producer Responsibility. Learners will then examine the scope, battery categories, and key definitions that determine compliance obligations. The course continues with a deep dive into sustainability and safety requirements, including carbon footprint declarations, recycled content targets, and performance classifications.

Further sections address due diligence and responsible sourcing, showing how companies must manage environmental and human rights risks in accordance with Annex X, OECD Guidelines, and the CSDDD. You’ll also discover the innovative Battery Passport, a digital traceability system connecting sustainability, performance, and compliance data across the value chain. The course concludes with detailed modules on labelling, CE marking, and conformity assessment, followed by strategic guidance on how to integrate the Regulation into ESG and CSRD reporting systems.

By the end, learners will understand not only how to comply with the Regulation but also how to transform these obligations into a strategic advantage for sustainable growth and innovation.

Who this course is for:
- Sustainability and ESG managers who need to integrate battery-related carbon, recycling, and due diligence data into corporate reporting
- Legal, compliance, and policy professionals seeking to interpret and apply the Regulation’s obligations across supply chains
- Manufacturers, engineers, and product designers working with batteries or electric mobility systems who want to ensure design-stage compliance
- Procurement and supply-chain specialists responsible for responsible sourcing, traceability, and supplier due diligence
- Students and researchers in environmental law, business sustainability, or EU policy looking for a structured, practice-oriented introduction
