The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is reshaping the way businesses approach supply chain transparency and sustainability.
The law aims to ensure that certain products, including soy, natural rubber, palm oil, beef, cocoa, coffee, and wood, sold in or exported from the EU are not linked to deforestation or illegal production. Companies must collect and verify supply chain data, assess and mitigate risks, and submit due diligence statements confirming products were not produced on deforested land after December 31, 2020.
The clock is ticking and businesses cannot afford to be late to the game.
Even though the European Parliament and the EU Council reached a provisional agreement to delay the EUDR’s implementation, the law will become legally binding for large and medium companies on December 30, 2025, and for small enterprises on June 30, 2026.
Failing to meet EUDR compliance will result in penalties including fines of up to at least 4% of a company’s EU turnover, confiscation of products or revenues, and exclusion from public contracts or funding. Serious or repeated breaches could also lead to temporary bans on trading in the EU or using simplified due diligence procedures.
To comply with the stringent EUDR compliance requirements, companies must act now to leverage advanced deforestation monitoring tools that offer real-time insights. But companies’ profiles, supply chains, and preparedness to meet sustainability regulations vary greatly. The good news: satellite data-powered Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions provide an effective means to track and analyze deforestation and land-use changes, ensuring due diligence and compliance.
Whether you are an SME developing traceability solutions or a large corporation trading commodities, the right SaaS tool is out there for you!
We break down the leading EUDR compliance software providers to help you find the right fit.
