ENABLING EUDR
European Union Deforestation Regulation
The EUDR (European Deforestation Regulation) is an EU regulation aimed at curbing global deforestation and forest degradation. It came into force on the 29th of June 2023 and obliges companies to only place certain raw materials and products – including wood, beef, soy, palm oil, cocoa, coffee and rubber – on the EU market or make them available if they have been proven to be deforestation-free and produced in accordance with the law. The aim is to halt global deforestation and reduce CO₂ emissions from land use change.
The EUDR replaces the previous EU Timber Regulation (EUTR) and introduces more comprehensive requirements for all market participants. In addition to complete traceability of the supply chain, geographical origin data must be available and risk-based due diligence checks must be carried out. Following the most recent amendment of 23 December 2025, the obligation to apply the EUDR will apply equally to all companies in the EUTR sector from 30 January 2026 onwards – including small and micro-enterprises.
