Understanding the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)

Navigating the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is essential for businesses committed to compliance and sustainability. For companies doing business in the EU, compliance with EUDR is mandatory to retain market access. QIMA provides the insights, tools, and expertise you need to align with this critical regulation.

What Is the EUDR?

The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is a landmark initiative aimed at stopping deforestation and forest degradation linked to commodities entering or leaving the EU market. It mandates that companies prove their commodities and products do not come from deforested land and have been legally produced in accordance with sustainable practices.

Coverage of the EUDR

The EUDR focuses on high-risk commodities, including:

• Palm oil

• Soy

• Coffee

• Cocoa

• Beef

• Timber

• Rubber

• Derived products

Companies handling these commodities must implement rigorous due diligence to guarantee their supply chains are free from deforestation risks. Download our EUDR Compliance Checklist to ensure your operations cover all aspects of EUDR compliance.
