EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)
Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 — Ensuring deforestation-free supply chains in the EU market
What is the EUDR?
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), officially Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, replaces the previous EU Timber Regulation (EUTR). It requires operators and traders placing specific commodities on the EU market — or exporting them from the EU — to demonstrate that their products are deforestation-free and legally produced.
7 Commodities Covered
The EUDR goes far beyond timber. It covers seven commodity groups and all their derived products:
Timber & Wood Products
Furniture, pulp, paper, plywood, charcoal
Cattle & Leather
Beef, leather goods, hides
Soy & Soy Products
Soybean meal, soybean oil
Palm Oil
Palm oil, palm kernel oil, derivatives
Coffee
Green beans, roasted, extracts
Cocoa & Chocolate
Cocoa beans, butter, powder, chocolate
Rubber
Natural rubber, tyres, rubber products
Key Requirements
- Due diligence system to assess and mitigate risk of deforestation in supply chains
- Geolocation data for all plots of land where commodities were produced
- Proof that products are deforestation-free (cut-off date: December 31, 2020)
