Ambassador Rodrigo de Azeredo Santos is the new president of IBRAM. The Green Iron Project will include CO[2] tracking throughout the production chain. Brazil Iron has partnered with Bureau Veritas, a French group specializing in inspection and certification, to assess the projected emissions of the Ferro Verde Project in Bahia. This work will also allow for the definition of the project's projected carbon intensity and its position relative to the CBAM, a European Union mechanism that establishes a cost for carbon emissions associated with imported products. This initiative precedes future independent verifications. The data structuring will include information on production volume, fuel and energy consumption, raw materials used, and supporting documentation for each record. Results will be expressed in tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per ton of HBI, indicating the sources and calculation methods. The work will also define the assumptions and limits of the system used in the emissions calculations. The system will allow each emission data point to be associated with its origin, the calculation method, and the supporting documentation. The study will cover mining, ore processing, transportation, pelletizing, and HBI production using the Midrex process. HBI is a high-quality metallic input for steel production in electric arc furnaces. The analysis will allow for the identification of the points of greatest emission along the production chain and the monitoring of the evolution of the operation's environmental performance. The first stage of the CBAM assessment, based on data from the feasibility phase, has already been completed. This work will allow for the distinction between the carbon footprint of the entire production chain and the emissions covered by the mechanism's regulatory limits. The results will be presented to potential steelmaking clients, commercial partners, and vehicle manufacturers in Europe and Japan. The initiative will also allow customers to assess the carbon intensity of HBI and project import-related costs. When a production unit does not provide its own emissions information, importers can use standard values defined by the European Commission. To use actual emissions data, customers will need calculations prepared according to the applicable methodology and verified by an accredited body. The European Commission has not yet published its list of accredited CBAM verifiers. Bureau Veritas has applied for accreditation, and Brazil Iron hopes the group will be among the first to obtain this authorization, subject to approval. The verification will allow Brazil Iron to consider the emissions actually recorded in the CBAM calculation. European customers will have greater predictability regarding the environmental performance and associated costs of the product. Brazil Iron intends to develop operational monitoring and conduct independent verifications for the annual reporting periods to CBAM, replacing projected data with actual operational records. Operation is scheduled to begin in 2031, subject to financing, project development, and necessary environmental approvals.

Temu expands seller education with Bureau Veritas, QIMA and TÜV SÜD. Sep 23, 2026, 03:00 ET DUBLIN, Sept. 23, 2026 /CNW/ - Temu is expanding its seller education programs in collaboration with eight global product testing and certification organizations, including Bureau Veritas, QIMA and TÜV SÜD. The courses help sellers on Temu understand the product safety and certification requirements that apply to their products and markets. The training courses give sellers direct access to independent specialists who explain how regulatory requirements apply to their products. Sellers also have testing and certification support available to them on the platform. The courses are livestreamed through the Temu Seller Academy. Sessions held in August recorded more than 4,000 views by sellers in total and over 2,000 interactions. For example: * Bureau Veritas provided an overview of European toy safety requirements, including regulatory updates, labeling rules and physical and chemical risks. * TÜV SÜD covered testing and certification requirements for children's toys in Europe and the United States, focusing on risk mitigation through product design and material selection. The August program also included a session led by SPEAC, an EU-funded product safety project, on the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation and practical requirements for online sellers. Upcoming sessions will cover electronics, textiles, footwear, cosmetics and food-contact materials. "Every new market brings fresh obligations, from product safety rules to testing and certification," said a Temu spokesperson. "By organizing these training sessions with industry leaders, we give sellers direct access to specialists and practical information they can apply to their own operations and products." Temu held more than 100 meetings with trade associations, chambers of commerce and start-up networks in Europe in the first half of 2026 to understand the difficulties small businesses face in selling online. The practical demands of selling in multiple markets came up consistently, and that feedback informs Temu's broader support for sellers. The seller education programs form part of this support, alongside dedicated onboarding teams that provide continued guidance through Temu's Local Seller Program. Sellers can also connect their existing business software to Temu through more than 200 ERP integrations and access a network of more than 150 delivery providers across Europe, including DHL Group and La Poste. Temu is deepening its engagement with Europe's business communities, and has signed memorandums of understanding with Start:up Slovenia, Portugal's APDC, Cyprus's CITEA and Switzerland's SKV to contribute to knowledge-sharing. Temu has also joined Cross-Border Commerce Europe to participate in EU dialogue on cross-border e-commerce. About Temu Temu is a global e-commerce platform connecting consumers with millions of manufacturers, brands and business partners. Operating in more than 90 markets worldwide, Temu is committed to providing affordable, high-quality products that enable customers to live better lives. SOURCE Temu [email protected]
