EUDR

Supporting compliance with the EUDR: SBP’s EUDR module 

Introduction to the EUDR

The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) marks a significant step in combating global deforestation and forest degradation. By ensuring that commodities placed on the EU market do not contribute to deforestation, the regulation establishes robust requirements for traceability, due diligence, and risk mitigation.

For businesses in the biomass sector, this means demonstrating compliance with EUDR’s requirements, including stringent supply chain verification and documentation.

SBP is here to guide and support our Certificate Holders in navigating this new regulatory landscape.

How SBP supports compliance

To help our Certificate Holders meet EUDR requirements, SBP has developed a voluntary EUDR module integrated into our Data Transfer System. This module offers:

Streamlined due diligence processes
Leveraging SBP’s established framework, Certificate Holders can efficiently demonstrate compliance with EUDR’s due diligence requirements, including traceability, deforestation-free status, and legality of biomass sourcing.

Enhanced risk assessment tools
SBP’s tools provide the data and insights needed to evaluate and mitigate potential risks in the supply chain, ensuring adherence to EUDR requirements.

Proven compliance framework
Where our certification scheme aligns with the EUDR’s requirements, we are able to minimise additional administrative burden while ensuring Certificate Holders remain ahead of regulatory changes.

Training and guidance
Comprehensive resources, webinars, and support services tailored to the specific needs of our Certificate Holders to ensure seamless adaptation to the new Directive.

Why start now?

Although implementation of the EUDR is delayed by 12-months to 30 December 2025, we strongly encourage Certificate Holders to act immediately. Early preparation is key to avoiding compliance challenges and ensuring continued market access.
