EUDR Technological Solutions for Compliance refer to digital platforms and tools designed to help companies adhere to the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). This regulation mandates that businesses importing or exporting certain commodities—such as soy, palm oil, wood, cocoa, coffee, cattle, and rubber—into or out of the EU must ensure their products are deforestation-free and comply with local environmental laws. The regulation comes into effect on December 30, 2024, for most companies, with small and micro-enterprises required to comply by June 30, 2025 .
Given the complexity of global supply chains, technological solutions have emerged to assist companies in meeting EUDR requirements efficiently. These solutions typically offer features such as:
Supply Chain Traceability: Mapping products from their origin to the final market to ensure transparency.
Geolocation Data Collection: Recording the exact locations where commodities are produced to verify they are not sourced from deforested areas.
Risk Assessment and Mitigation: Evaluating the likelihood of deforestation in supply chains and implementing strategies to address potential risks
Due Diligence Statement Generation: Automating the creation of required documentation to demonstrate compliance with EUDR.
Several companies offer EUDR compliance solutions:
Xylem Technologies: Provides a cloud-based application that facilitates supplier onboarding, risk assessment, and compliance reporting
Intertek: Offers end-to-end compliance support, including regulatory assistance, training, and a blockchain platform called EUDRtrace for supply chain transparency.
osapiens: Delivers an all-in-one platform with AI-driven risk assessments and workflow automation, tailored for both SMEs and large enterprises
Source Intelligence: Features tools for product tracing, automated risk assessments, and centralized document management
Cropin: Utilizes satellite-driven monitoring and AI-powered insights to enhance supply chain transparency and simplify compliance processes .
Implementing these technological solutions can help companies not only comply with EUDR but also promote sustainable practices within their supply chains.
