What is the EUDR directive?
The EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation) is an EU regulation aimed at tackling deforestation and forest degradation resulting from the production and trade of certain raw materials and products. The regulation introduces uniform rules for companies operating in the European Union market and is crucial for sustainable supply chains, ESG, compliance and non-financial reporting.
The purpose of the EUDR is to ensure that products entering or exporting from the EU market:
- They do not contribute to deforestation or forest degradation,
- Are in accordance with the laws of the country of origin,
- Are covered by documented due diligence.
What products does the EUDR cover?
The EUDR addresses seven key raw materials and a wide range of related products:
- soybeans (e.g., oil, feed),
- cattle (and beef products, including beef meat, hide),
- palm oil,
- cocoa (e.g., chocolate, cocoa products),
- coffee,
- rubber (e.g., tires and rubber products)
- wood (e.g., furniture, paper, cardboard).
The scope of the EUDR includes both primary and processed products, which significantly increases the number of regulated companies.
Who is affected by the EUDR
EUDR applies to companies that:
- bring regulated products to the EU market,
- make them available on the EU market,
- they export them outside the European Union.
The obligations extend in particular to manufacturers, importers and exporters, trading and processing companies and organizations operating in international supply chains. What matters is a company’s role in the supply chain, not just its size or industry.
What obligations does the EUDR impose on companies?
The EUDR introduces due diligence, which consists of several key elements:
- Data collection. Companies must collect and store, among other things, information on the origin of raw materials, geolocation of production plots, data on suppliers and countries of origin, confirmation of compliance with local laws.
- Risk assessment. The company must assess the risk that a product has contributed to deforestation, consider geographic, environmental and legal factors.
- Risk mitigation. If the risk is not negligible, the company should implement corrective actions, change supply sources or suppliers, obtain additional evidence and certifications.
- Reporting and documentation. It is mandatory to submit a due diligence statement to the EU information system, keep records to enable audit and inspection.
Failure to comply with EUDR requirements can result in financial penalties, product recalls, bans on marketing in the EU, reputational risks.
When the EUDR comes into effect
EUDR takes effect:
- as of December 30, 2026. – for medium and large enterprises,
- as of June 30, 2027. – For micro and small businesses.
