EUDR - Tackling deforestation and forest degradation in commodity supply chains

At Preferred by Nature, we specialise in supporting organisations to address sustainability and sourcing challenges in line with market and regulatory requirements, including the EUDR. Our tailored services cover your entire sustainable sourcing journey, from setting commitments to reporting and disclosure. We design and implement robust due diligence systems for deforestation-free and sustainable sourcing. Currently, we are working with several global brands, companies and organisations of different sizes and roles within the supply chains to assist them in navigating and aligning their practices with the EUDR requirements.  

We have partnered with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to launch a protocol for managing geolocation data in global supply chains. This protocol serves as a tool to support global efforts aimed at improving product traceability and sharing sustainability information along commodity supply chains, while also meeting regulatory requirements such as the EUDR and other upcoming regulations. Using the protocol may help to accommodate the EUDR's requirements concerning the geolocation of harvesting plots. 

The PEFC EUDR DDS is a voluntary add-on for PEFC CoC certification holders seeking to meet EUDR requirements. It supports companies with due diligence and risk assessment procedures tailored for regulatory alignment. Available as a standalone desk audit or integrated into annual certification assessments, the PEFC EUDR DDS strengthens your responsible sourcing practices. Preferred by Nature is accredited to evaluate conformance with this standard worldwide.
