Regulatory Compliance

Regulatory compliance automated with AI: Taranis AI deploys AI agents to turn your European obligations — CSRD, AI Act, PPWR, battery passport — into industrial performance assets. A factual and certifiable approach.

The problem: regulatory compliance is exploding

Regulatory compliance has never been heavier for European industry. Each regulation adds data points to collect, evidence to retain and reports to produce — under the scrutiny of increasingly demanding auditors and authorities.

CSRD compliance requires collecting, verifying and auditing more than 1,000 ESRS data points. EU AI Act compliance brings transparency obligations from August 2, 2026, and high-risk system requirements in 2027-2028. The PPWR regulation applies in full from August 12, 2026. The battery passport becomes mandatory on February 18, 2027. Deadlines pile up — compliance teams, however, do not grow.

The result is measurable: months of manual collection, documentation errors, and non-compliance risks that block market access. This is the problem AI agent automation solves.

CSRD Compliance & Double Materiality

Automated ESG data governance (ESRS)

The CSRD directive imposes a reporting rigor matching financial accounting: hundreds of ESRS data points to collect, verify and audit (the July 2026 revised standard keeps about 320 mandatory ones). Our AI agents automate multi-source data collection, while securing your double materiality analysis for auditors.

  • Automation of ESRS data flows

  • Secured Double Materiality analysis

  • Digital Audit Trail for statutory auditors

  • Automated administrative data collection

CSRD Compliance & Double Materiality

Real-Time Carbon Audit (CBAM)

Dynamic carbon traceability at SKU level

Move from an annual estimated carbon footprint to real-time management. Our AI agents calculate the actual carbon footprint at every production step, facilitating CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) compliance and valuing your low-carbon products in the market.

  • Dynamic carbon traceability (SKU-level tracking)

  • CBAM carbon tax anticipation and calculation

  • Predictive supply chain impact simulation

  • Certifiable real emissions data

Real-Time Carbon Audit (CBAM)

Digital Battery Passport (UID)

Compliance with EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542

We deploy the digital identity infrastructure essential for European market access. The Taranis AI battery passport guarantees traceability of critical raw materials (Lithium, Cobalt) and immutable data integrity from mine to recycling.

  • Immutable digital identity per battery (UID)

  • Upstream traceability of strategic raw materials

  • Compliance reporting for EU Regulation 2023/1542

  • Secure interfacing with recycling centers

Digital Battery Passport (UID)

Health Score & Remaining Useful Life (RUL)

Residual value optimization and Second Life

Taranis AI agentic intelligence analyzes real-world usage to accurately calculate SOH (State of Health) and RUL (Remaining Useful Life). This expertise maximizes your asset profitability and certifies battery value for the second-life market.

  • Predictive remaining useful life calculation (RUL)

  • SOH certification for Second Life resale

  • Predictive maintenance driven by AI agents

  • Unsupervised AI for electrochemical drift detection

PPWR Compliance & Circular Economy

Packaging life cycle management (Regulation (EU) 2025/40)

The European PPWR regulation imposes drastic recyclability and reuse quotas. Our AI agents audit your technical specifications to guarantee packaging compliance, while optimizing void ratio and minimizing the impact of plastic taxes.

  • Automatic packaging specification audit

  • Void ratio optimization (legal threshold 40%)

  • Recycled content rate tracking by SKU

  • Regulatory compliance certification 2026-2030

How AI automates regulatory compliance

Three building blocks, one chain: collect at the source, verify against regulation, document for the audit.

Multi-source collection

AI agents extract your data directly from ERPs, MES, supplier catalogs and technical documents. No more manual data entry or contradictory spreadsheets.

Regulatory verification

Each data point is cross-checked against current requirements: ESRS standards for CSRD, risk classification for the AI Act, restricted substances and recyclability for PPWR, traceability for the battery passport.

Reporting & audit trail

Regulatory reports are generated automatically, with a complete timestamped history of every decision. Your auditors find the evidence in a few clicks — not in several weeks.

Regulatory calendar 2026-2027

Deadlines and estimated effort vary with company size. Plan ahead now.

The Taranis AI approach

Unlike generic solutions, our approach combines on-site audit and automation. We start with a diagnosis of your current compliance status, then deploy automation workflows where the impact is greatest — with gains measured on your actual data within the first months.

Frequently asked questions about regulatory compliance

What is regulatory compliance?+
Regulatory compliance is the set of obligations a company must meet to operate legally: ESG reporting (CSRD), carbon traceability (CBAM), battery passport, packaging compliance (PPWR) and AI system oversight (AI Act). For industry, it means collecting, verifying and documenting precise data — often thousands of data points per reporting cycle — and being able to present it to auditors and authorities.
How do I automate regulatory compliance?+
Automating regulatory compliance relies on AI agents that collect data at the source (ERP, MES, suppliers), consolidate and verify it against regulatory requirements, then generate reports and the audit trail. Taranis AI deploys this full chain: multi-source collection, regulatory reporting and documentary traceability are handled by supervised agents, with measured time savings on industrial deployments.
AI Act: what are my company's obligations?+
The EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) applies to any AI system used in the EU. Transparency obligations apply from August 2, 2026, and high-risk system requirements are phased in during 2027-2028. In practice: inventory your AI systems, classify them by risk level, document high-risk systems (technical file, human oversight, decision traceability) and ensure continuous monitoring.
What is CSRD compliance?+
The CSRD directive (EU 2022/2464), as amended by the Omnibus directive (EU) 2026/470, requires in-scope large companies to publish a sustainability report structured around the ESRS standards: double materiality, environmental and social data, limited assurance. After Omnibus, the thresholds are cumulative: over 1,000 employees AND over €450M net turnover — the first reports for newly in-scope companies cover fiscal year 2027 (published in 2028). The volume of data to collect exceeds 1,000 ESRS data points — a textbook use case for AI agent automation.
Does the PPWR regulation affect my company?+
Yes, as soon as you place packaging on the European market, regardless of its size. The PPWR (Regulation (EU) 2025/40) applies in full from August 12, 2026: recyclability, restricted substances (PFAS banned from August 12, 2026, BPA from July 20, 2026), maximum empty space ratio of 40%, and declarations of conformity per packaging reference.
What is the battery passport?+
The digital battery passport is an obligation of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542: from February 18, 2027, any battery over 2 kWh placed on the European market must carry a unique digital identifier tracing its composition, carbon footprint, raw materials and state of health, from manufacturing to recycling. Taranis AI deploys the digital identity infrastructure and associated data traceability.
