By the end of the year, most products in the EU made from forested commodities (cattle, coffee, cocoa, oil palm, rubber, soya, and timber) must have a due diligence statement indicating that the product did not contribute to deforestation or forest degradation and was made in compliance with the relevant legislation of the country of production. The EU's Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) will require economic operators to carry out a rigorous analysis of their supply chain to ensure compliance.

Starting 30 December 2024, companies doing business in the EU will need to comply with the requirements of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). The new regulation will require large companies trading in seven key commodities (and products derived from those commodities) to prove that these goods/products do not originate from recently deforested areas or contribute to forest degradation. Ismael Aznar Cano, Sustainability Legal Partner PwC España, sets out the EUDR’s core requirements and what companies should be doing to ensure they’re ready to comply: https://pwc.to/4dODNiw #EUDR #Regulation #Sustainability

The European Commission recently proposed a one-year delay to the implementation of the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), shifting the enforcement date from December 2024 to December 2025. This decision was made in response to concerns raised by businesses and stakeholders, who sought additional time to adjust to the new compliance requirements. The delay primarily impacts larger companies, while smaller businesses have an extended deadline of June 2026. The EUDR is designed to prevent the import and trade of products linked to deforestation and forest degradation in the EU. These regulations cover a range of commodities, including cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soy, rubber, and wood. The delay also coincides with the release of technical guidelines to assist businesses in preparing for the regulation. These guidelines provide clarity on terms, due diligence requirements, and the role of third-party certifications. While the delay allows businesses more time to adapt, environmental advocates have expressed concern, warning that further postponements could undermine global efforts to protect forests. They emphasize the urgency of tackling deforestation, especially given the EU's significant role in global commodity-driven deforestation. The delay proposal must still be approved by the European Parliament and Council. https://lnkd.in/dYF7yaUh

Now is a good time to explore the far-reaching effects of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) on worldwide supply chains and examine potential implementation strategies outlined in this detailed whitepaper, developed in collaboration with Efeca. The EUDR will permanently reshape trade patterns and supply chains for commodities linked to deforestation, affecting major producers in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Companies must adapt by enhancing supply chain transparency, implementing robust due diligence processes, and leveraging technologies for traceability. This comprehensive guide offers insights into navigating EUDR compliance, strengthening supply chain integrity, and contributing to global conservation.
