‍What does the EUDR require?

‍

• Plot-level traceability for all commodities concerned
• A risk assessment for each country and region of origin
• An official Due Diligence Statement (DDS) for each market entry
• Documented mitigation measures for any identified risks
• Retention of all documentation for a minimum of five years

Plot-level traceability calls for a clear supply chain logic, effective communication with your suppliers and a documented process. We bring all these dimensions together in one approach.

‍

• Scope and product analysis – Which of your commodities fall under the EUDR? Which products and product lines are in scope? What is the geographical origin and risk profile of your supplier base?
• Traceability and data collection – Working together with your suppliers, we guide you in setting up a system to collect, validate and store plot coordinates and origin data.
• Risk assessment – Drawing on the European country benchmarking system and additional sector data, we help you conduct a documented risk assessment for each commodity and region of origin.
• DDS and compliance process – We help you draw up the required statements, establish an internal approval process, and safeguard documentation obligations for the mandatory five years.
• Software support – Together, we assess which tools can support the traceability and due diligence process: from plot data registration to risk assessment and DDS generation.

• Supplier risk mapping – Mapping risks by supplier and region of origin.
• Supplier engagement – Mobilising suppliers for data collection and compliance requirements.
• CSRD reporting – Using EUDR data as input for biodiversity and deforestation reporting.
