Since the announcement of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) proposal in November 2021, Preferred by Nature has closely tracked its development, from its approval and entry into force on 29 June 2023 to the present day.
We bring years of experience supporting businesses and affected stakeholders with the EU Timber Regulation (EUTR) and continue to support stakeholders in implementing systems to meet or align with other regulatory requirements such as the EUDR.
Drawing from our extensive experience in working with businesses in responsible sourcing and production of various commodities, we are ready to support you with your EUDR alignment. We have developed the Sustainability Framework and related certification programme to align with the new EUDR requirements.

EUDR aligned indicators
To address the requirements of the EU Deforestation Regulation for forest and agricultural commodities, we have benchmarked 159 indicators included in our Sustainability Framework with the requirements of the regulation. Of these, we selected 46 indicators that can be used for verification at the forest or farm level, incorporated into a due diligence system, or simply as a guide to the types of law relevant to the regulation.
This selection of indicators can serve as a tool to help businesses meet the obligations imposed by the regulation, and help farmers or foresters to identify pathways to producing legal and deforestation-free products.
