Environmental Regulatory Framework Index

The Environmental Regulatory Framework Index evaluates countries' national environmental legislation and their engagement with major multilateral environmental agreements. It also provides an assessment of the legal, institutional and governance factors which inform the implementation and enforcement of environmental policies, laws and regulations.

The Environmental Regulatory Framework Index can help you:

• Screen operations and supply chains for the presence of environmental laws
• Rank suppliers or sites globally on the robustness of environment regulations in place
• Understand the specific environment laws and treaties lacking in a given location
• Inform supplier risk assessments by streamlining SAQ or audit processes
• Ensure compliance with environmental regulations and sustainable procurement standards
• Demonstrate due diligence when onboarding new suppliers or assessing new locations
• Avoid unnecessary violations or litigations in relation to environmental compliance
