Starting January 1st, 2026, companies placing relevant products on the EU market must comply with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). But what does that actually involve and how do you prepare?
In the EUDR Winter School, Coolset’s sustainability researchers will walk you through a fictional company’s journey to EUDR compliance - from scoping their exposure to submitting due diligence statements in TRACES.
Each session blends scenario-based learning, practical exercises and live Q&A.
Plus, after each session, you’ll receive downloadable templates, tools and checklists to apply in your own organization.
