Do you want to deepen your understanding of how to ensure your supply chains are free from deforestation and conversion, while supporting biodiversity? Or learn how your company can align with the requirements of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)? Join us for our upcoming course in Denmark!

This one-day training will introduce participants to the core principles of deforestation- and conversion-free production and trade, as well as the practical steps involved in implementing effective due diligence systems under the EUDR.

The course combines theoretical background with hands-on exercises and examples. You will gain insights into supply chain analysis, risk assessment and management, and practical tools for meeting the EUDR’s obligations in real-world contexts.

As an added benefit, the training will demonstrate how efforts to eliminate deforestation and land conversion can strengthen your company’s biodiversity performance. You will be introduced to a practical, step-by-step approach for identifying and assessing your biodiversity impacts, dependencies, and risks, setting clear and credible targets, and taking effective action to reduce your impact on nature.

Participants who complete the course will be eligible to receive a certificate of attendance upon request. 

What to expect

• Practical exercises and case examples on deforestation-free supply chains 
• Hands-on activities to assess and improve your due diligence system 
• Opportunities to discuss challenges with technical experts experienced across multiple sectors and countries 

• Tools and approaches to manage biodiversity risks linked to your supply chains
   

   

Who should attend

This workshop is designed for businesses, organizations, and professionals involved in producing, sourcing, or trading commodities covered by the EUDR, including timber, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soy, natural rubber, and cattle. It will be particularly relevant for importers seeking to apply EUDR due diligence in practice through concrete, activity-based learning, while also strengthening their understanding of biodiversity impacts, risks, and opportunities across their supply chains.
