An important read if you are dealing in these commodities – see page 38 – Annex 1

This is EU legislation and applies to goods imported into and exported from the EU.

The EU’s new Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires companies trading in cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood, as well as products derived from these commodities, to conduct extensive diligence on the value chain to ensure the goods do not result from recent (post 31 December 2020) deforestation, forest degradation or breaches of local environmental and social laws.

Companies should consider now the impact of the EUDR on their supply chain due diligence to prepare for the new obligations that apply from 30 December 2024.
