The regulation covers seven key agricultural commodities that are mainly linked to deforestation and forest degradation worldwide. It sets out obligations for consumer goods companies, operators and retailers to exercise due diligence and ensure that their sourcing practices do not contribute to deforestation or forest degradation after December 31, 2020. But what does this mean for SMEs in concrete terms?
EU companies that source products such as timber, soy, rubber, cocoa, coffee, palm oil and beef are subject to EUDR regulations.
Obligations include the collection of information and documents, risk assessment, the implementation of risk mitigation measures and the establishment of a due diligence system.
Compliance requires expertise & capacity that overwhelms SMEs and non-compliance threatens penalties - how can SMEs cope?
