Introduction

The race is on to meet the requirements of the European Union Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR) by December 30, 2024—and certified coffee and cocoa companies can consider the Rainforest Alliance a powerful partner in this sprint.

As leaders in combating deforestation for more than 35 years, we are primed to leverage the full potential of our systems and offerings to help certified cocoa and coffee supply chain partners show compliance with EUDR requirements.

The EUDR is already closely aligned with the approach embedded in the Rainforest Alliance Certification Program, with some small yet crucial differences between the requirements of both. 

After completing this course, you will have a better understanding on what EUDR is and what it means for certificate holders.
