The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) represents the most significant shift in commodity trade compliance in a generation. Effective from 2025, it requires any company placing relevant commodities or derived products on the EU market to prove through geolocation data and due diligence documentation that those products are not associated with deforestation or forest degradation after December 31, 2020. The regulation covers palm oil, soy, beef, timber, cocoa, coffee, rubber, and a wide range of derived products — affecting thousands of Indonesian exporters across multiple commodity sectors.
Conduct deforestation risk analysis for all sourcing areas against the EUDR reference date of December 31, 2020. Identify high-risk sourcing areas requiring enhanced due diligence or supplier substitution.
Develop the formal due diligence statement system including information requirements, risk assessment documentation, and mitigation measure records. Establish supplier declaration and audit protocols.
Test due diligence system against EUDR technical requirements. Train internal teams on compliance maintenance. Establish ongoing deforestation monitoring and annual due diligence review cycle.
