Another EUDR delay is expected, with confirmation in the coming days.
We have always known that this regulation presents challenges making implementation difficult, such as complex IT requirements, unclear definitions, and a submission system not yet able to handle the projected volume of cases. We also acknowledge the frustration that this further postponement brings.
For the past year, companies have worked tirelessly to ensure their readiness for the December 2025 EUDR implementation, and this latest delay has the potential to shake trust in regulatory bodies. But we know that the energy and dedication of our customers is far from wasted. The strides they have made in improving their traceability data will serve to strengthen their supply chains beyond EUDR: supporting deforestation- and conversion-free commitments, emissions reduction goals, and better sourcing risk management. These all have a real-world impact that help build a more resilient industry for people and the environment.
Should the postponement be confirmed, Satelligence is confident it will be used as valuable time to address the existing challenges and bring more clarity for companies. Our comprehensive solutions will continue to work to safeguard forests, empower people, and protect the climate. That’s a commitment we’ll never postpone.
