Comprehending EUDR Requirements Through Due Diligence and Supply Chain Transparency
Data Collection
Companies placing products on the EU market need to collect relevant information about commodities and products, including:
-
Geolocation of plots and information on suppliers.
-
Evidence that the products do not originate from land deforested after 31 December 2020.
-
Proof that it was produced and traded legally according to the country of production.
Risk Assessment
The EU categorizes countries by deforestation risk (low, standard, high), influencing the regulatory requirements.
Examples of criteria include:
-
Presence of forests in the country/production area and rate of deforestation and degradation
-
Complexity of the supply chain and risk of mixing product from non-compliant sources
Companies must document and review the risk assessment at least once a year
Risk Mitigation
Take adequate mitigation measures, policies, controls and procedures to reach no or negligible risk.
This can include:
-
Independent audit function to check internal policies and procedures
-
Requesting additional documentation or other verification surveys
-
Support the compliance of suppliers, in particular smallholders, through capacity building and investments
Companies must review the risk mitigation measures at least once a year
