As a major hub for global trade and agricultural commodities, the Netherlands plays a central role in implementing the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). This workshop offers companies operating in or trading through the Dutch market a practical opportunity to understand how to apply the regulation’s requirements in their operations and supply chains.

Participants will learn how to establish and document due diligence systems that align with the EUDR. The training combines self-paced online preparation with an in-person, interactive session focused on practical application. Before the event, participants will receive access to online learning materials introducing the core elements of the regulation. During the workshop, Preferred by Nature’s technical specialists will guide you through supply chain analysis and the steps needed to achieve deforestation-free and legal sourcing.

All participants will receive a certificate of attendance upon completion.

What to expect

• Interactive exercises and case studies tailored to EUDR-aligned due diligence in international trade
• Step-by-step guidance for assessing and improving your supply chain systems
• Opportunities to discuss implementation challenges with experienced technical experts
• Workshop materials provided in English

Who should attend?

This workshop is relevant for companies, organisations and professionals involved in importing, processing or marketing EUDR-regulated commodities such as timber, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soy, natural rubber and cattle. It will be particularly useful for Dutch and international businesses operating through the Netherlands’ trade and logistics hubs who want to strengthen their due diligence systems and ensure EUDR alignment.
