Disclaimer: New EUDR developments - December 2025
In November 2025, the European Parliament and Council backed key changes to the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), including a 12‑month enforcement delay and simplified obligations based on company size and supply chain role.
Key changes proposed:
- New enforcement timeline: 30 December 2026 for large/medium operators, 30 June 2027 for small/micro operators
- Simplified DDS: One-time declarations for small and micro primary producers
- Narrowed scope: Most downstream actors and non‑SME traders would no longer need to submit DDSs
- New DDS requirement: Estimated annual quantity of regulated products must be included
These updates are not yet legally binding. A final text will be confirmed through trilogue negotiations and formal publication in the EU’s Official Journal. Until then, the current EUDR regulation and deadlines remain in force.
We continue to monitor developments and will update all guidance as the final law is adopted.
1. Conduct a carbon audit
Conduct a thorough carbon audit to identify the main sources of your company's greenhouse gas emissions. The audit involves collecting data on energy usage, transportation, waste and other factors contributing to carbon emissions, and will provide a baseline for measuring progress and identifying priority areas for emission reduction. Regular audits enable companies to track their progress over time and adjust their strategies accordingly. Carbon management software can streamline this process, efficiently measuring Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from financial data.
