What Is The EUDR?
Key conditions in the EUDR compliance
Forests offer a large range of environmental, economic and social benefits that are fundamental for human life. They protect entire ecosystems, provide clean air and prevent biodiversity loss, also playing a vital role in water purification and storage and in supporting the lives and economies of a large part of the global population. The destruction of forests contributes significantly to the climate crisis, reduces carbon sinks, affects the water cycle and threatens the livelihoods of communities, including indigenous peoples and local communities. They must be harvested and produced in accordance with the relevant legislation of the country of production which includes not only compliance with environmental regulations, but also those related to land-use rights, forest management, labour, tax and or human rights laws.
The EU On Deforestation Free Regulation (EUDR) is a policy framework to address and mitigate the environmental impacts of deforestation. It is an integral part of the EU Green Deal and is in line with the broader EU strategy to protect forests worldwide. The regulation sets out criteria for which products can be classified as deforestation-free and requires companies to implement sustainable sourcing practices and traceability measures to ensure that their supply chains do not contribute to deforestation. The EUDR regulation brings particularly significant implications, requiring businesses dealing with certain products to conduct even more extensive due diligence on their supply chains. This is an important step to promote transparency and accountability in the production of key commodities and protect biodiversity.
