EUDR workshop: Practical strategies for deforestation-free supply chains
Companies in France are now taking steps to align with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which aims to ensure that commodities placed on the EU market are both legal and deforestation-free. This workshop offers a practical opportunity to understand how to apply EUDR requirements directly within your operations.
Participants will learn how to build and document due diligence systems that meet the regulation’s expectations. The training combines online preparation with an in-person, practice-oriented session that moves beyond theory. Before attending, participants will have access to short online modules introducing EUDR essentials. During the in-person workshop, Preferred by Nature’s technical experts will guide you through assessing your supply chain, identifying potential risks and planning the steps needed for effective implementation.
All participants will receive a certificate of attendance upon completion.
What to expect
- Guided exercises and examples focused on deforestation-free supply chain implementation
- Hands-on activities to evaluate and strengthen your due diligence approach
- Opportunities to discuss challenges with technical experts experienced across multiple sectors and countries
- Workshop materials provided in French
Who should attend?
This workshop is designed for businesses, organisations and professionals involved in producing, sourcing or trading EUDR-regulated commodities such as timber, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soy, natural rubber and cattle. It will be particularly valuable for those seeking to put EUDR due diligence into practice through concrete, hands-on activities.
