EUDR Readiness 2026 – A North American briefing series
Even though the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is European legislation, it has global impact on trade — especially for businesses in the United States and Canada that export commodities, raw materials, or finished goods into the EU. The EU is one of North America’s largest trading partners, and compliance with EUDR is essential to avoid market barriers, penalties, and lost revenue.
This series of live, expert-led webinars is designed specifically for North American companies — exporters, supply chain leaders, sustainability professionals, compliance teams, and executives — who need practical, actionable guidance on understanding EUDR and preparing for compliance before your products cross into the EU.
How the series works
Sessions take place on a monthly cycle each lasting 60 minutes. Before each date, we share an agenda highlighting the most pressing EUDR topics. After the session, you’ll receive additional information on the areas covered. New topics and dates will be released as we move through 2026, below you can find the topics for the first few sessions:
EUDR in 2026: Timeline, Scope & What to Prepare Now — Put the 2026 timeline in context, clarify scope and roles, and identify sensible preparation steps for data, traceability, and evidence.
Exporting EUDR relevant goods to the EU— Define clear selection criteria—geolocation, producer-level traceability, risk & evidence management, and integrations—to make a confident tooling decision.
EUDR risk analysis and automation — Get concise answers to common questions, clarify scope, define your risk strategies and define where you can reduce operational burden.
Why This Matters for North America
The EUDR isn’t just an EU policy — it has direct consequences for U.S. and Canadian companies that want to maintain or grow their market access in Europe. Because the regulation requires detailed proof that certain commodities and products are deforestation-free and legally sourced, North American exporters must adjust how they collect, manage, and report supply chain data.
Failing to comply can affect:
• Market access to EU customers and partners
• Contract eligibility with European buyers
• Brand reputation with sustainability-focused stakeholders
Attending this series will help you turn compliance into a strategic advantage in global trade.
