The EU Deforestation Regulation is a ground-breaking legislation to combat global deforestation.
With decades of expertise in responsible sourcing, supply chain assurance and sustainability standards, Soil Association Certification can help organisations understand their obligations, strengthen due diligence systems, and prepare for EUDR compliance.
Our EUDR services span all commodity sectors and organisations. Our services include:
Our in-house EUDR experts have designed a comprehensive introductory training program to help companies navigate compliance with EUDR regulatory requirements.
Our training combines self-paced online learning with in-person workshops to upskill global companies to achieve EUDR alignment across their supply chains.
Our Responsible Sourcing team can support your business achieve EUDR alignment with an independent, comprehensive gap assessment of your due diligence systems.
An assessment can be used to identify areas at risk of non-compliance, so companies can prepare for EUDR using independent, objective feedback. Following the assessment, the company will receive a detailed report and an executive summary.
The assessment can be useful to companies at all stages of readiness, from those seeking a baseline assessment, to those who have identified and mitigated risks and are seeking third party verification of their systems. Assessments can be tailored upon request.
EUDR Verifications and Gap assessments are applicable to:
Companies inside the EU with direct legal obligations as Operators/Traders
Companies outside the EU who are seeking to align their supply chains with EUDR
Companies producing or trading any of the EUDR commodities; timber, coffee, cocoa, natural rubber, palm oil, soya, cattle & beef.
Companies seeking supplier audits as part of their due diligence
We are already supporting businesses of all sizes across commodity sectors to navigate and align their systems with the EUDR requirements.
For forestry sectors, Soil Association Certification is working towards becoming an accredited provider of both the FSC® Regulatory Module, and PEFC’s DDS to begin onboarding new and existing certificate holders in early 2026.
If your business or industry group shares our vision for excellence and compliance, we invite you to explore partnership options. Together, we can elevate industry standards for forest-risk commodities and create a sustainable future for all.
