VILLANOVA ESG EU–BRAZIL SUPPLIER EVIDENCE
EU–Brazil Supplier Evidence Advisory

European buyers decide on evidence. We make yours decision‑ready.

The law is European, but the request lands in your inbox — with a deadline. The problem is rarely the operation. It is scattered evidence. We review it at origin, in Portuguese, against one published framework.

Where it starts

Three requests that put revenue on the table

Steel, aluminium, coffee, soy, beef, leather, textiles: if you export to Europe, one of these e-mails is coming — if it has not already.

Renewal

“Complete this questionnaire before we renew.”

Weak answers reprice or replace suppliers before price is even discussed.

CBAM

“Your EU importer needs embedded-emissions data.”

Steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers. Without evidence, the buyer assumes the worst number — and the difference comes out of your price.

EUDR

“Prove origin and geolocation for every shipment.”

Coffee, cocoa, soy, beef, leather, wood and rubber — from 30 December 2026. Buyers are asking ahead of the law.

The Supplier Evidence Maturity Model

Five levels, from evidence that does not exist to a file that maintains itself. Public, citable, with DOI — supplier, buyer and advisor talk about the same file with the same words.

Advisory review — not an audit, certification or legal opinion. A submission does not create an engagement.
