Building deforestation- and conversion-free supply chains under the EUDR

Do you want to deepen your understanding of how to ensure your supply chains are free from deforestation and conversion, while supporting biodiversity? Or learn how your company can align with the requirements of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)? Join for the upcoming course in Denmark!

This one-day training will introduce participants to the core principles of deforestation- and conversion-free production and trade, as well as the practical steps involved in implementing effective due diligence systems under the EUDR.

The course combines theoretical background with hands-on exercises and examples. You will gain insights into supply chain analysis, risk assessment and management, and practical tools for meeting the EUDR’s obligations in real-world contexts.

As an added benefit, the training will demonstrate how efforts to eliminate deforestation and land conversion can strengthen your company’s biodiversity performance. You will be introduced to a practical, step-by-step approach for identifying and assessing your biodiversity impacts, dependencies, and risks, setting clear and credible targets, and taking effective action to reduce your impact on nature.

Participants who complete the course will be eligible to receive a certificate of attendance upon request.

Please note that this course can be attended on two different dates, e.g. 27 May or 28 May.
