What is European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)?
The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is a landmark piece of legislation designed to prevent the entry of deforestation-linked products into the EU market. By enforcing these requirements, the EUDR aims to protect global forests, combat climate change, and promote sustainable economic development. It imposes due diligence obligations on businesses operating within or importing relevant commodities into the EU, requiring them to:
- Risk Assessment: Identifying and assessing the risk of deforestation or forest degradation associated with their supply chains.
- Due Diligence: Implementing appropriate due diligence systems to address identified risks and ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
- Documentation: Maintaining adequate documentation to support their compliance efforts.
- Reporting: Disclosing information about their due diligence practices and any associated risks.
Commodities Included in the Regulation:
- Palm oil
- Cattle
- Soy
- Coffee
- Cocoa
- Timber
- Rubber
