Preparing for the EU Deforestation Regulation: Using the Delay as a Business Advantage

What is Deforestation Legislation?

Deforestation Legislation encompasses the body of laws enacted by governments to control, limit, or entirely prevent deforestation globally. This legislation aims to protect forests from unchecked clearing, which can lead to loss of biodiversity, disruption of ecosystems, and acceleration of climate change.

For supply chain traceability companies, understanding deforestation legislation is vital for ensuring compliance in the sourcing of materials. These laws may dictate how and where materials can be harvested, establish requirements for sustainable forestry practices, or mandate reforestation efforts.

By adhering to deforestation legislation, companies not only comply with legal standards but also contribute to sustainable and ethical supply chain practices, enhancing their corporate social responsibility profile.
