"With the EU’s Regulation on Deforestation-free Products approaching implementation, it is important to understand its provisions, especially the highly debated 'Risk Benchmarking' among global commodity producers and traders." The backlash from "high-risk" countries has led the European Commission to consider delaying this mechanism, classifying all countries as "standard risk" for now. This delay raises concerns about whether the risk benchmarking will effectively encourage efforts to reduce deforestation and forest degradation, as "low-risk" countries lose the chance to benefit from reduced due diligence requirements. Do you want to better understand what Risk Benchmarking entails and its possible impact for commodities producers? Be sure to read this expert piece about the topic. https://lnkd.in/geDpZrKG #controlunion #certification #EUDR #EUDRCompliance #timberindustry #sustainability #forestproducts #deforestation #environmentalregulations #eu #sustainableforestry #theprooftoyourpromise

Many nations have undertaken substantial initiatives over the last ten years to prevent illegal logging and diminish deforestation. These efforts will continue to take the timber and other commodity industries, along with their supply chains, towards more sustainable practices. Starting December 30, 2024, the European Union will replace the EU Timber Regulation (EUTR) with the Deforestation Regulation (EUDR 2023/1115). Our experts have shared useful insights on how this regulatory change can impact the forestry industry. When reading the article below, you will find comprehensive information about the changes EUDR brings, risk analysis, geolocation data, and more. https://lnkd.in/eTdbJteb #controlunion #certification #EUDR #EUDRCompliance #timberindustry #sustainability #forestproducts #deforestation #environmentalregulations #eu #sustainableforestry #theprooftoyourpromise
