AI-powered compliance solution for the EU deforestation regulation (EUDR)
The European Union’s Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) aims to prevent the EU from contributing to deforestation and forest degradation around the world. It does so by prohibiting the EU import and export of certain commodities and products that are not deforestation-free, such as palm oil, cattle, soy, coffee, cocoa, timber and rubber. Companies are required to conduct due diligence to verify that they comply with the deforestation-free criteria and the relevant legislation of the country of production, including on human rights and the rights of indigenous peoples. EUDR entered into force on 29 June 2023 and will apply from 18 months after its publication in the Official Journal of the EU.
EUDR non-compliance can result in temporary exclusion from public procurement processes and public funding, confiscation of the products or confiscation of the revenues gained from the items, financial penalties of up to 4% of revenue and reputation damage.

EU Deforestration Regulation (EUDR)
The EU Regulation for Deforestation-Free Products is a new regulation that came into force on June 29, 2023 and aims to prevent the products that EU citizens consume from contributing to deforestation or forest degradation worldwide. It applies to certain products that are made from cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soy and wood as well as products derived from these raw materials.
EUDR helps to combat global climate change, protect biodiversity and promote human rights. Deforestation and forest degradation are responsible for about 12% of global greenhouse gas emissions and threaten the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on the forests. The Deforestation Regulation aims to ensure that the EU does its part in addressing these issues and promoting sustainable development.
By imposing requirements on the economic operators who introduce or process deforestation-risk products into the EU market. These operators must be able to demonstrate that their products come from sources that have not caused or contributed to deforestation or forest degradation. To do so, they must set up a system to monitor the traceability of their supply chains and regularly report on their activities. The EUDR also provides sanctions for operators who violate the regulation.
To comply with the EUDR, you need to take some steps as an economic operator, such as:
- Register with a national authority.
- Verify and document the origin of your products.
- Conduct a risk assessment procedure and take risk mitigation measures.
- Set up and maintain a monitoring and reporting system.
- Submit to external verification and audits.
