New market regulations are at the cutting edge of the fight against global deforestation. In
June, 2023, the EU adopted the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR),
which targets key commodities like cattle, cacao, coffee, and wood. The policy mandates
that, after December 30, 2025, relevant products and their derivatives entering the EU market
must be “deforestation-free”—not sourced from land that has been deforested since 2020
—and comply with their production country’s local laws.
Companies will be responsible for conducting their own due diligence, assessing and
mitigating risks of their supply chains’ non-compliance. Most importantly, companies will bear
the onus of proving their compliance with the EUDR. Upon every export of a relevant good,
trade operators must submit an official Due Diligence Statement declaring that their
product is deforestation-free. Without this document, export to the lucrative EU market is
forbidden. Violations of the EUDR will incur heavy penalties, including large fines and
trading bans.
What is the
EUDR?
The regulation requires that exports sourced
from these 7 key commodities must be
