Overview

The EU Deforestation Regulation requires companies to prove that products sold in the EU have not contributed to deforestation. While not a DPP regulation per se, it mandates extensive supply chain traceability and due diligence data that overlaps significantly with DPP requirements — particularly geolocation data, supply chain mapping, and risk assessments.

Key Requirements

The EUDR introduces several requirements that directly impact how businesses manage product data and Digital Product Passports.

  • Due diligence statement for each product placed on EU market
  • Geolocation coordinates of production plots
  • Proof of deforestation-free production since 31 December 2020
  • Supply chain mapping and risk assessment
  • Applies to cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya, wood
  • Extends to derived products (leather, chocolate, furniture, paper, etc.)
  • Information system for due diligence statements
  • Country benchmarking system for risk assessment

Frequently Asked Questions

How does EUDR relate to DPPs?

EUDR requires detailed supply chain traceability data — geolocation, supplier mapping, due diligence reports — which directly feeds into DPP data requirements for affected products.

Which products does EUDR cover?

Seven commodities (cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya, wood) and their derived products including leather, chocolate, furniture, paper, rubber products, and more.

Has the enforcement been delayed?

Yes, twice. The original 30 December 2024 date was pushed back 12 months in December 2024, then by another year in December 2025. It now applies from 30 December 2026 to large and medium operators and traders, and from 30 June 2027 to micro and small operators.

Can DPP software help with EUDR compliance?

Yes. DPP platforms that capture supply chain data, geolocation, and material provenance can serve dual purposes for both ESPR DPP and EUDR compliance.
