EU Deforestation Regulation Step-by-Step Guide for Business

This Step-by-Step Guide for Companies on the EU Deforestation Regulation1 (EUDR) focuses on the general steps that companies are recommended to consider when preparing for EUDR compliance. This document is targeted at large processors rather than small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and, more specifically, at personnel responsible for the development and implementation of compliance systems and procedures. This Guide also includes recommendations for compliance that go beyond the requirements of the EUDR, as well as for the adoption of leadership practices that reflect high levels of ambition. It is therefore intended as a resource not only for compliance staff, but also for those with broader competencies related to corporate social responsibility in the forestry and agricultural commodity sectors.
