• Ensures supply chain compliance with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
• Provides tailored assessments and risk mitigation strategies.
• Empowers companies with data-driven insights to reduce deforestation risks.

Eurofins Sustainability Services has introduced a new deforestation impact assessment designed to help businesses comply with the European Union’s Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). The EUDR aims to stop the import and sale of products linked to deforestation in the EU, covering commodities like cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soy, and wood.

The assessment offers businesses the critical tools needed to trace the origin of raw materials in their supply chains. This helps maintain legal compliance, manage risks, and meet evolving consumer expectations.

“Our deforestation impact assessment equips companies with expert guidance and crucial supply chain insights,” Eurofins explained. The assessment includes comprehensive data collection under EUDR Article 9 and advanced risk assessment in line with Article 10.

Key advantages of the Eurofins assessment include:

• Tailored reporting on compliant, non-compliant, and at-risk supply chains.
• Recommendations for risk mitigation under EUDR Article 11.
• Optional annual updates to ensure ongoing compliance.

Eurofins will also be hosting a free webinar on September 25, 2024, providing detailed information on the deforestation impact assessment and EUDR requirements.

The service also emphasizes supply chain mapping, offering clients a better understanding of their supply chain with visual maps, traceability to raw material origin, and insights into environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks.
