Secure, ethical geolocation data sharing: New functionalities in Fairtrace for EUDR readiness

This is a webinar for Fairtrade coffee and cocoa producer-exporters, exporters and importers that currently use Fairtrace and are part of supply chains preparing for the EUDR.

The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) enters its application phase starting 30 December 2026 for large and medium operators and 30 June 2027 for micro and small enterprises.

At Fairtrade, we’re supporting coffee and cocoa producers and businesses to continue on the path to EUDR readiness including through our digital platforms. We are introducing a new feature in Fairtrace – the platform that tracks Fairtrade product sales across global supply chains – to allow the secure flow of geolocation data between producer organisations and traders for EUDR due diligence reporting.

Join us for an information session to learn about:

How Fairtrade’s digital platforms fit into our overall support for EUDR readiness and forest protection.
New feature in Fairtrace that allows secure and consent-based data sharing by cooperatives with their exporter and importer trade partners.
What you’ll have to access to: geolocation data and risk assessment summaries for Due Diligence Statements (DDS).
How to get started, and where to find resources.
