This advanced webinar is tailored for professionals already familiar with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) who are seeking the most current insights and practical approaches to deepen their compliance journey. With EUDR standards evolving, staying ahead requires both a nuanced understanding of the regulation and effective strategies for addressing data verification and supply chain transparency.

Agenda

Our session begins with Nicko Debenham's overview of recent feedback from National Competent Authorities (NCAs), focusing on key regulatory insights, priority issues, and actionable advice to strengthen compliance preparations.

Anna Laven will then tackle the pressing issues impacting data quality and transparency on the ground, including deforestation, unregistered supply chain participants, and high turnover rates among workforce members. Her insights will underscore the complexity of achieving visibility and traceability, particularly where indirect supply chains present unique challenges to maintaining compliance.

To close, Thomas Vaassen will provide a step-by-step approach for enhancing data readiness, addressing core areas such as data quality, integrity, and plausibility. He’ll illustrate how organisations can anticipate and correct potential compliance gaps through practical examples, ensuring data resilience across various commodity types.

This webinar, which includes a live Q&A session to address your questions, offers in-depth guidance and actionable insights for those looking to refine their EUDR compliance approach and meet the demands of this critical regulation.
