The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires operators placing palm oil and derived products on the EU market to ensure that products are deforestation-free, legally produced, and covered by the required due diligence process. Traders and downstream operators have specific obligations under the Regulation, including information and record-keeping requirements.
For palm oil supply chains, due diligence involves assessing compliance with relevant legislation in the country of production, including requirements related to land use, environmental protection, labour rights, human rights, third-party rights, FPIC, taxation, anti-corruption, trade, and customs. This tool helps users understand relevant legal frameworks and verification mechanisms, supporting EUDR compliance and sustainable supply chains.
