Policies such as the EU's Carbon Border Tax (CBAM) and the US Clean Competition Act indicate that green trade barriers are reshaping foreign trade rules. Enterprises need to integrate ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) into their strategies in order to win international orders.

Key authentication:

General standards: ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems), FSC certification (Sustainable Forestry Products).

Industry specific:

Electronic appliances: RoHS, REACH (Restriction of Hazardous Substances).

Textile: OEKO-TEX ®  Standard 100 (non-toxic testing).

Implementation path:

Energy conservation and emission reduction: renovate production lines (such as photovoltaic power supply) and apply for carbon footprint labels.

Supply chain audit: Require suppliers to provide environmentally friendly materials to avoid questioning of greenwashing.

Market return:
A survey shows that 67% of European and American buyers are willing to pay a 10% -15% premium for green products. A certain Zhejiang photovoltaic enterprise doubled its export value to the United States due to holding UL certification.

Future prospects:
Circular economy (such as waste product recycling) will become a new growth point for foreign trade, and it is recommended to lay out technological reserves in advance.
