Context
Hey! I’m Samir, a Supply Chain Engineer and Data Scientist from Paris, and the founder of LogiGreen Consulting.
We use AI, automation, and data to support sustainable business practices for small, medium and large companies.
This workflow is part of our broader initiative to monitor and act on sustainability legislation in Europe.
> How do you know if new EU laws will impact your business’s sustainability goals?
This n8n workflow automatically scrapes the EU Parliament’s legislative portal to find and flag procedures related to environmental sustainability.

Who is this template for?
This workflow is useful for:
- Sustainability consultants monitoring legal frameworks
- NGOs and researchers tracking environmental regulations
- Companies aligning with CSRD or EU Green Deal objectives
- Policy analysts looking for automation tools
What does it do?
This n8n workflow:
- 🌐 Scrapes the EU Parliament legislative portal for yesterday’s entries
- 🧠 Uses OpenAI to classify if each procedure is related to sustainability
- 🗂️ Filters out irrelevant items
- 📊 Saves the results in a Google Sheet
- ✅ Creates a Google Task for each relevant file to review the legislation
How it works
- Trigger manually or on schedule
- Scrape HTML blocks for scheduled debates
- Parse each procedure to extract Title, Committee, Rapporteur, PDF link
- Call GPT-4-turbo to check if the topic matches sustainability criteria
- Filter responses based on “yes” or “no”
- Store valid items into Google Sheets
- Generate tasks in Google Tasks
The AI only flags procedures that directly impact the environment, circular economy, or pollution control.
What do I need to get started?
You’ll need:
- A Google Sheet connected to your n8n instance
- An OpenAI account with GPT-4 access
- A Google Task List
Follow the Guide!
Follow the sticky notes in the workflow or check my tutorial to configure each node and start using AI to monitor sustainability regulations in Europe.
Notes
- AI filters are strict — you can customise the system prompt to match your needs
- This is ideal for tracking legislative risk for climate regulations
This workflow was built using n8n version 1.85.4
