The EUDR, which stands for the regulation concerning certain commodities and products associated with deforestation and forest degradation applies to legal or natural persons who market or export any of the following goods (so-called relevant products) in the EU: cocoa, coffee, soy, palm oil, rubber, as well as cattle and wood (including paper).
The complex regulation of the EUDR requires those entities to provide due diligence statements regarding relevant products at the time of placing on the market or exporting. Additionally, the obligated parties must also report annually. The EUDR due diligence system expects
- information provision,
- risk assessment, and
- risk mitigation measures.
The due diligence statements and annual reports must be uploaded by the obligated parties to an information system established and maintained by the European Commission.
We assist with the preparation of Due Diligence Statements and Annual reports, as well as the use of the Information system, by providing introductory training on EUDR regulations, then jointly preparing the first statements, followed by annual reports, and together uploading them to the Information system.
