Why EUDR Compliance Requires End-to-End Supply Chain Traceability
The European Union has implemented the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) to combat imported deforestation and ensure that only products from sustainable supply chains are allowed onto the European market. For companies, this means collecting, centralizing, and sharing accurate traceability data.
In this context, Supply Logica offers a comprehensive compliance management solution designed to meet the strict requirements of the regulation.
In this article, discover how Supply Logica supports businesses in implementing the EUDR, by ensuring robust traceability, rigorous data management, and seamless compliance information transmission.
Geolocation of Plots: A Key Requirement of the EUDR
How Supply Logica Secures Plot Traceability
One of the pillars of the EUDR is the geolocation of sourcing plots. Companies must demonstrate that traded products do not originate from areas deforested after December 31, 2020.
Supply Logica enables operators to input, verify, and map the GPS coordinates of source plots, ensuring compliant and easily auditable traceability.
Through the integration of geospatial data into the platform, it becomes possible to quickly validate the eligibility of each sourcing area.
Batch Traceability and Flow Integrity
Centralizing and Tracking Product Batches
Supply Logica helps businesses structure the tracking of batches throughout the supply chain. The tool centralizes key information related to goods movements, facilitating product identification at every stage.
This approach strengthens transparency and reduces the risk of non-compliance. Reports can be generated to support verification and control procedures.
EUDR Declarations in TRACES: Streamlining and Automation
Automatic DDS Generation
TRACES is the EU’s official platform for recording Due Diligence Statements (DDS).
Supply Logica automates the generation of these declarations by compiling all necessary data: geolocation coordinates, volumes, batch IDs, and supplier information.
APIs have been developed to interface with the TRACES platform, allowing simplified and compliant data transmission.
Each DDS includes a unique identifier that facilitates submission in accordance with the European information system’s requirements.
Centralized Documentation and Audit Readiness
Organizing Supporting Documents
EUDR compliance also requires being able to demonstrate due diligence in the event of inspections.
Supply Logica ensures the centralized storage and organization of all supporting documents: geolocation proof, audits, supplier records, DDS, and more.
A structured history is available for each product, simplifying interactions with competent authorities.
To better understand the regulatory requirements, the European Commission’s FAQ can also serve as a useful reference.
Secure Sharing of Compliance Data
Controlled Access for Authorities and Partners
Supply Logica offers secure methods for sharing compliance data, including protected links that provide controlled access to relevant information for partners or authorities.
This ensures reliable transmission of information to clients, partners, or regulatory bodies, in line with EUDR’s transparency requirements.
