Understanding the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)

Navigating the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is essential for businesses committed to compliance and sustainability. At QIMA, we provide the insights, tools, and expertise you need to align with this critical regulation.

What is the EUDR?

The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is a landmark initiative aimed at stopping deforestation and forest degradation linked to commodities entering or leaving the EU market. It mandates that companies prove their products are deforestation-free and legally produced, promoting sustainable supply chains.

Coverage of the EUDR

The EUDR focuses on high-risk commodities, including:

• Palm oil
• Soy
• Coffee
• Cocoa
• Beef
• Timber
• Rubber

- Derived products

Companies handling these commodities must implement rigorous due diligence to ensure their supply chains are free from deforestation risks.
