The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is a landmark step in the global effort to fight deforestation, protect biodiversity, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. From the end of 2024, companies importing or trading in key commodities like palm oil, soy, coffee, cocoa, wood, and rubber must prove their products are deforestation-free and sourced legally.
This new regulation will impact supply chains worldwide and requires a proactive, data-driven approach.
The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) marks a turning point in the global fight against deforestation, biodiversity loss, and climate change.
From January 2026, companies importing or trading in key commodities — such as palm oil, soy, cocoa, coffee, wood, and rubber — will be legally required to prove their products are deforestation-free and legally sourced, with full traceability and geolocation data.
Failing to comply with EUDR will lead to serious legal and commercial consequences:
Fines of up to 4% of annual EU turnover
Exclusion from the EU market or seizure of goods
Reputational risks and growing pressure from customers, investors, and stakeholders
Disruption of supply chains due to stricter due diligence obligations
This regulation is not optional. It’s a wake-up call for global supply chains to become transparent, sustainable, and fully traceable.
