A new ‘Assurance System’ was unveiled during this year’s roundtable, aiming to address issues that prevent market transformation and find its 'sweet spot' while the partnership continues to promote all sustainability efforts including the ones of existing standards. As an affiliated member of the Sustainable Coconut Partnership, 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 actively contributed to discussions on advancing sustainability in the coconut sector.

Beginning on 1st of January 2025, the new EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) establishes mandatory due diligence requirements for Operators/ Organizations involved in placing certain commodities or products on the EU market or exporting them from it. The regulation prohibits products associated with deforestation and forest degradation aft­er 31st of December 2020. These products must also comply with the laws of the country where they were produced. Additionally, operators are required to implement a due diligence system to prevent sourcing products linked to deforestation. 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨?

Under the EU Deforestation Regulation, companies are required to meet 3 strict conditions before placing commodities and products on the EU market: they must be (1) deforestation-free, (2) produced in accordance with the law of the country of production, and (3) covered by a due diligence system.
