Why now is the time to get ready for EUDR
"At its core, the EUDR aims to break the link between global deforestation and the products we consume. This systemic shift is prompting businesses to adapt quickly while navigating evolving guidance and operational challenges,” explained Maja Drca, EU Representative at PEFC International.
“The European Commission continues to move forward with EUDR implementation, which seems like a complex undertaking given the regulation’s ambitious scope, technical requirements, and far-reaching impact on global supply chains.”
