EUDR Compliance with Berg+Schmidt – For a Sustainable Tomorrow

What does the EU Deforestation Regulation Means for Our Industry?

The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) marks a major step forward for sustainability, traceability, and transparency in global supply chains. Its objective is to prevent the placement of raw materials and products linked to deforestation or forest degradation on the EU market. The regulation came into force on June 29, 2023 and will be mandatory from December 30, 2025.

It applies to key commodities such as palm oil and derivatives, soy, cocoa, coffee, timber, cattle, and rubber. Products may only be placed on the EU market if they:

  • are deforestation-free
  • are produced in compliance with local laws
  • are accompanied by a valid Due Diligence Statement

Our Response to New Regulatory Demands

At Berg+Schmidt, we have taken early action to prepare our processes and supply chains for EUDR compliance. We offer:

  • Clear distinction between EUDR-compliant products and “legacy stock” (placed on the market before December 30, 2025)
  • Batch-specific compliance data for better planning certainty
  • Personalized guidance on product selection and transition
  • Sustainable product solutions in line with our high-quality standards

Our goal is to support our customers proactively – both in meeting legal requirements and in building forward-thinking, responsible product strategies.

By fully embracing EUDR compliance, we aim to contribute to more transparent, sustainable, and future-ready supply chains – together with our partners.
