Comply with the EU regulation on  deforestation-free products

Confidently export and import forest-risk raw materials and products to Europe and beyond.

The challenge

Prove compliance with regulations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), the UK Environment Act, the FOREST Act in the USA, and even upcoming regulations in China.

Failure to comply with EUDR by December 2025 puts your company at risk of severe penalties, including a fine amounting to 4% of your EU turnover, potential seizure of goods, delays in the supply chain, trade sanctions, loss of market access, and negative publicity. Billions of dollars in revenue are jeopardised due to these supply chain risks.

Step 1

Ramp up Traceability:
Map all plots of origin

As part of their due diligence statement, companies will be required to provide the precise geo-coordinates of their commodity origins.

This entails collecting geolocation coordinates of land plots along with the associated production dates or timeframes, along with proof of legality. Land plots are delineated as either points or polygons, representing farm or plantation boundaries.

Have no data? We do! We provide comprehensive data sets sourced from our trusted partners, or we can assist in mapping newly identified plots using advanced satellite technology.

Step 2

Conduct Risk Assessment

Companies trading commodities from medium or high-risk countries must assess the risk to ensure their products weren’t sourced from land deforested or degraded after 31.12.2020

Performing risk assessment on each plot of origin. The products originating from these plots should be:

  • ‘Deforestation-free’ not on land deforested or degraded after 31 December 2020 (Article 3a)
  • ‘Produced in accordance with the relevant legislation of the country of production’ (Article 3b)

EUDR may exacerbate smallholder exclusion as companies de-risk their supply chain to ensure compliance. Our clients work with us to mitigate this risk, ensuring access to large-scale affordable monitoring for smallholders in partnership with Solidaridad, Fairtrade International and others.

Step 3

Perform Risk Mitigation

If companies can’t verify compliance with the stated requirements, they must take mitigation actions to eliminate associated risks before trading on the EU market.

Should non-compliance areas with (negligible) deforestation remain in your supply chain? Implement our grievance procedure, perform and disclose risk mitigation for non-compliance areas with ease.

Our grievance risk tracker is ready to use, saying goodbye to keeping records in Excel and manually sifting through geodata saves you significant time and effort.

Comply!

Submit Compliance Statement

We provide official due diligence statements that you can submit to the EU Information System to demonstrate compliance.

We support your team to embed our monitoring solution in your daily work processes, delivering the data for your Compliance Statements.

Alternatively, Satelligence can submit the Compliance Statements on your behalf as your EC-Authorised Representative.

Navigating the pitfalls of open forest data compliance under the EUDR regulations

New forest regulations such as the EUDR require agricultural commodity producers and manufacturers to present satellite-based proof that their products are deforestation-free. Many people think open forest data is an easy, safe and free fix.

But is open data really safe?
