EU Compliance & Sustainability Navigation

Chart your course
through EU regulation
with confidence.

In 1492, Columbus chose the 28th parallel — not by chance, but by knowledge of trade winds and ocean currents. Today, European sustainability legislation demands the same deliberate navigation. Parallel 28 guides companies through the complexity of EUDR, CSRD, CBAM, and beyond.

Our story

Named after the route
that changed the world.

When Columbus departed the Canary Islands in 1492, he followed the 28th parallel north — a deliberate choice, guided by his knowledge of trade winds. He didn't sail blindly into the unknown. He navigated it.

European sustainability legislation is your new frontier. EUDR, CSRD, CBAM, CS3D — the rules are complex, the deadlines real, and the penalties significant. Parallel 28 brings the navigational expertise your business needs to cross safely.

"The right route isn't always obvious — but it is always findable."
Due Diligence Systems

Automated EUDR compliance reports with satellite-verified deforestation data from Google Earth Engine. Geolocation, forest cover analysis, and supplier risk — all in one exportable document.

Why Parallel 28

Tools and advice — both in Dutch, French and English.

Most EUDR and sustainability compliance software on the market is built by large enterprise vendors — platforms designed for multinationals with dedicated ESG teams. Parallel 28 takes a different route.

Tools paired with human expertise
Software alone rarely solves a compliance challenge. Our free tools help you get oriented; our paid tools automate the busy work; but decisions are always made by people — with direct access to our consultancy team.
