Global Due Diligence Complaince for Timber & Commodities
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.

The EUDR mandates that businesses importing commodities like timber, cattle, coffee, cocoa, palm oil, rubber, and soy into the EU ensure their products are deforestation-free.

UK Timber
Regulation (UKTR)
The UKTR requires businesses importing timber and wood products into the UK to ensure that they are legally sourced.
