ISO Align timeline graphic: the EU voluntary sustainability reporting standard published 21 September 2026, in force 24 September 2026, the value chain cap applying from 1 January 2027, and the Irish transposition deadline of 19 March 2027.

There is now a ceiling on the supplier questionnaire

The CSRD value chain cap limits what large EU customers can require from suppliers from January 2027. What Irish and UK organisations should do this quarter.
ISO Align timeline graphic: PPN 026 published 5 August 2026, sub-criteria guidance due autumn 2026, and the new UK Social Value Model applying to procurements commenced on or after 1 January 2027.

Net zero is leaving the UK social value model. It is not leaving procurement.

PPN 026 takes carbon out of the UK social value model from 1 January 2027. PPN 006 Carbon Reduction Plans still gate the bid, and Ireland moves the other way.
Timeline of the ISO 14064-1 and GHG Protocol Corporate Standard consolidation: partnership announced September 2025, scope confirmed July 2026, public consultation Q2 2027, publication Q4 2028.

ISO 14064-1 and the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard are being consolidated into a single standard. The dates, what really changes, and what to do this quarter.
Timeline of CBAM milestones: accredited verifiers begin site work September 2026, first verification reports January 2027, CBAM certificate sales open 1 February 2027, first annual CBAM declaration due 30 September 2027.

CBAM in 2026: the verification year, not the invoice year

EU CBAM is live, but the first bill lands in 2027. 2026 is the verification year — what Irish and UK manufacturers and importers should be doing this quarter.
ISO Align timeline graphic showing four energy compliance dates: 11 October 2026 first EED Article 11 audits, 31 December 2026 ESOS Phase 4 qualification date, 11 October 2027 certified energy management system above 85 TJ, and 5 December 2027 ESOS Phase 4 notification.

ESOS Phase 4 and EED Article 11: the energy deadlines that land in 2026, not 2027

ESOS Phase 4 qualification lands 31 December 2026 and EED Article 11 audits on 11 October 2026. Why the 2027 deadlines are the wrong dates to plan around.

ISO 14001:2026 in Ireland and the UK: the transition deadline that actually matters

Most organisations are planning their ISO 14001:2026 transition around 2029. The real constraint arrives in 2027 — and the value-chain clause is the part that takes longest.
