The EU Deforestation Regulation represents one of the most significant supply chain compliance requirements of the decade. Companies placing certain commodities and derived products on the EU market must demonstrate that their supply chains are deforestation-free.
What EUDR Requires
EUDR requires due diligence statements for seven commodity categories and products derived from them. Manufacturers in food, beverage, automotive, electronics, and chemicals sectors face direct compliance obligations.
The regulation requires not just documentation but traceability — the ability to demonstrate the geographic origin of commodities and that they were produced on land not deforested after December 31, 2020.
Where COSIRI 24 Fits
COSIRI 24 includes a dedicated sustainable procurement dimension that directly addresses EUDR compliance requirements. The assessment evaluates supplier mapping capability, traceability systems, and due diligence documentation processes.
A COSIRI assessment produces a supply chain sustainability score that identifies specific gaps in EUDR readiness — and the associated roadmap provides a structured path to compliance before regulatory deadlines.
