EUDR compliance

EUDR compliance

What is the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)?

The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is a policy aimed at curbing deforestation by prohibiting the import of certain commodities linked to deforestation into the EU market. The regulation will apply to products like cocoa, soy, palm oil, wood, coffee, rubber, and cattle, including their derived products. By January 1st, 2025, businesses preparing and commercializing these products must provide proof that their supply chains are not contributing to deforestation or forest degradation, making traceability and sustainability vital components of compliance.

Why compliance should matter to you

Avoid costly fines

Failure to comply with EUDR can result in significant fines and penalties.

Sustain customer relations

Be able to respond to customer (B2B) demand for information.

Enhance reputation

Demonstrating sustainable practices strengthens your brand’s reputation among consumers and investors.

Ensure market access

EUDR-compliant businesses maintain access to the EU market, which is increasingly prioritizing sustainability.
