What you'll learn

How will the EU's new deforestation regulation (EUDR) impact your business?

The European Union is introducing new rules to stop the import of products linked to deforestation. This affects commodities like cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soy, and timber. The rules are set to take effect on December 30, 2024, but pressure to delay this is building up. Join our fireside chat to hear about what is happening and what businesses can expect.

Join us for an insightful fireside chat with sustainability experts Anouschka Jansen, Director of Sustainability at QIMA, and Pallavi Sharma, Agricultural Sector Lead at Business and Human Rights Compliance (BHRC). They will discuss the current buzz around the EUDR and what this could mean for businesses, the unique legality that underpins the EUDR, as well as how businesses should navigate the transitional period.
