Eurofins Sustainability Services Introduces EUDR Deforestation Impact Assessment

Pairing customer-centric support and tailored assessments to trace raw material origin in supply chains.

NORTHAMPTON, United Kingdom – Eurofins Sustainability Services (Paris:ERF), a full-service provider for retailers, brands, and manufacturers of consumer products, has grown its extensive service offering to include a deforestation impact assessment. The European Union’s Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) aims to prevent the import and sale of products linked to deforestation in the EU market – covering specific commodities, including cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soy, wood, and rubber, and products derived from these commodities, such as leather, paper, and furniture. Deforestation assessments allow businesses to ensure their supply chains meet legal requirements, maintain EU market access, and manage risks and consumer expectations.

Eurofins Sustainability Services’ deforestation impact assessment provides expert guidance and critical supply chain insights that businesses need to meet the requirements of the EUDR. Advantages include:

  • Comprehensive information collection in accordance with EUDR Article 9
  • Advanced risk assessment in alignment with EUDR Article 10, utilising globally recognised datasets
  • Recommendations for risk mitigation measures in accordance with EUDR Article 11
  • Tailored reporting to highlight compliant, non-compliant, and at-risk supply chains
  • Optional annual update of assessment to ensure continued alignment

Eurofins Sustainability Services will host a free webinar on 25 September 2024 presenting the deforestation impact assessment and the requirements of the EUDR in detail.

Supply chain mapping is an important aspect of this assessment. While the focus of this new service primarily targets deforestation risk, with a decade of experience working with supply chains and fostering engagement, the Eurofins Sustainability Services supply chain mapping service allows customers to better understand their supply chain with visual maps, gain traceability upstream to raw material origin, and better understand environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks.
