EUDR for business

The European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is a ground-breaking law designed to fight deforestation. It aims to make sure that forests are not damaged by the companies that use them to source commodities like wood, coffee, cocoa and palm oil.

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.

We can help your business comply through training and gap analysis.

EUDR commodities

The EUDR covers seven key commodities: coffee, cocoa, natural rubber, palm oil, soya, cattle and beef, and timber.

Training

Our in-house EUDR experts have designed training courses to help your company navigate compliance with EUDR regulatory requirements. Choose from either our self-paced online training or in-person workshops to upskill and achieve EUDR alignment.

EUDR foundation online training

This self-paced online training course is designed to help professionals across all sectors gain the knowledge and confidence to navigate EUDR compliance.

EUDR training workshops

Our in-person workshops use presentations, discussions, and group exercises to cover practical approaches to help you prepare for EUDR implementation.

Gap analysis

Our Responsible Sourcing team can help your business achieve EUDR alignment with independent, comprehensive verification and gap assessments of your due diligence systems, tailored to your needs.

Useful at all stages of readiness

Start with a baseline assessment, or work with us if you have identified and mitigated risks and are seeking third party verification of your systems.

EUDR verification and gap assessments are applicable to companies:

  • inside the EU with direct legal obligations as Operators/Traders

  • outside the EU who are seeking to align their supply chains with EUDR

  • producing or trading any of the EUDR commodities

  • seeking supplier audits as part of their due diligence

Following the assessment, you will receive a detailed report and an executive summary.

Arrange your gap analysis

We are already supporting businesses of all sizes across commodity sectors to navigate and align their systems with the EUDR requirements. Contact the team to arrange your verification and gap analysis.
