EUDR: Compliance Risk or Strategic Advantage?
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) will take effect from December 2025 for most companies, introducing a six-month grace period to address remaining IT-system challenges before full enforcement begins. Micro and small enterprises will follow under simplified requirements from December 2026.
The regulation requires companies trading in key commodities — such as cocoa, cattle, soy, palm oil, and rubber — to prove that their supply chains are deforestation-free.
Failure to comply carries serious consequences: regulatory fines, exclusion from EU markets, and reputational damage. But EUDR is more than a regulatory hurdle.
It’s a catalyst to transform procurement, build supply chain resilience, and gain long-term competitive advantage.
Why EUDR Compliance Matters
EUDR signals a fundamental shift in how global supply chains are governed.
It reflects the EU’s broader ambition for climate neutrality and compels companies to address deforestation at the source—from farm to shelf.
For leaders in agri-food, FMCG, retail, and industrial manufacturing, this is a pivotal moment to:
- Redesign sourcing models around traceability and integrity
- Align internal functions—from legal to IT to supplier engagement
- Demonstrate measurable ESG leadership to investors, regulators, and customers
