Complying with the EU Regulation on Deforestation-free Products

ITC SME TRADE ACADAMY

This course introduces the new EU regulation on deforestation-free products (EUDR) which entered into force in June 2023. The regulation requires EU companies to ensure they do not source products associated with deforestation.

The course begins by explaining the key concepts and terms of the regulation. It then presents a variety of scenarios featuring companies directly or indirectly affected by the EUDR, outlining the responsibilities of businesses in different regions and parts of the supply chain.

Participants will also learn about the minimum criteria for technological solutions to facilitate compliance with the EUDR, and will receive step-by-step guidance tailored to various types of companies to meet the EUDR requirements.
