Regulations Hub
ESG and sustainability disclosure regulations evolve constantly. EcoDiligence adapts your ESG Passport to the rules and framework expectations of your country of operation — so SMEs receiving supplier requests can respond with a single, country-aware artifact.

How Country Adaptation Works
When you tell us your primary country of operation in the wizard, three things happen automatically:
- The right grid emission factor is applied. Your Scope 2 emissions reflect the actual carbon intensity of your country's electricity grid — from Brazil's hydro-dominated ~0.10 kgCO₂e/kWh to India's coal-heavy ~0.71 kgCO₂e/kWh.
- The applicable regulatory frameworks are attached. Your profile receives the badges corresponding to the disclosure regimes most relevant to suppliers in that market — for example, LkSG for Germany, SB 253 for the United States, BRSR for India.
- Country-specific text and hints adapt the experience. The wizard shows context-appropriate hints (and Hebrew hints if you select Israel), and the PDF's methodology section names the exact source of every emission factor used.
We currently support 10 Smart Packs — countries with full country-specific adaptation. Every other country is covered by either an EU average or world average fallback, which is clearly indicated on the profile. See Methodology for the complete factor and source table.
Smart Pack countries — framework adaptation at a glance
Each Smart Pack attaches the most relevant frameworks for that jurisdiction. Click any framework name below for a full description in the directory section.
Grid factor: 0.330 kgCO₂e/kWh
Grid factor: 0.384 kgCO₂e/kWh
Grid factor: 0.207 kgCO₂e/kWh
Grid factor: 0.690 kgCO₂e/kWh
Grid factor: 0.452 kgCO₂e/kWh
Grid factor: 0.410 kgCO₂e/kWh
Grid factor: 0.390 kgCO₂e/kWh
Grid factor: 0.550 kgCO₂e/kWh
Grid factor: 0.085 kgCO₂e/kWh
Grid factor: 0.423 kgCO₂e/kWh
Don't see your country here? We'll still produce a VSME-aligned profile using either an EU average (for EU member states not yet on the Smart Pack list) or a world average factor (everywhere else). The fallback is clearly disclosed on the profile and PDF.
Framework directory
A reference summary of every regulatory and disclosure framework EcoDiligence maps to. The frameworks shown on your profile are determined by your country of operation; this list is the complete set of frameworks we support across all Smart Packs.

Where we're going next
The regulatory landscape is moving fast. On our roadmap:
- CSDDD (EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive) — pass-through support for European SMEs whose customers fall in scope.
- SEC Climate Rule — alignment with the US SEC's climate-related disclosure requirements once final scope is settled.
- Smart Packs for additional countries — Australia, Canada, Switzerland, and Mexico are next on the list.
- Comprehensive Module (VSME Pro) — climate targets, transition plans, and governance diversity disclosures under the VSME Comprehensive Module.
