The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) may be postponed until 30 December 2026 due to technical concerns over the readiness of a crucial EU IT system.
It sounds like the EU Deforestation Regulation might be delayed again to December 2026 but this doesn’t mean you can ignore it.
The regulation requires companies dealing with products like coffee, cocoa, or palm oil to prove their supply chain isn’t linked to deforestation and submit a formal statement to the EU.
Companies are advised to use this extra time to get their supply chain in order and stay alert for any changes to the rules.
