Global Due Diligence Complaince for Timber & Commodities

Overview

An increasingly regulated environment

Compliance with international due diligence regulations is essential for businesses involved in the trade of timber and other high-risk commodities. Key regulations—such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), the US Lacey Act, the UK Timber Regulation, and the Australian Illegal Logging Prohibition Regulation—require companies to prove the legality of their products, with the EUDR extending these requirements to include deforestation-free obligations.
