At Chainparency, we’re grateful for those who served and for the values of service and integrity they represent.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

EUDR: Arriving 2026! It is one of the most ambitious supply chain regulations to date, designed to ensure that commodities placed on the EU market are not linked to deforestation. For traceability, it represents a major step forward, forcing standardized geolocation data, improved due diligence, and greater visibility from source to market. Let's look at its timeline so far.

June 2023 – Passed and Adopted with a bold goal: deforestation-free trade
Dec 2024 → Dec 2025 – First delay to give companies more time to prepare
Dec 2025 → Dec 2026 – Second delay + refined rules
Final deadlines: Dec 30, 2026 (large) / June 30, 2027 (SMEs)
2026 – Final stretch:
-“Simplification review” to reduce compliance burden and improve usability
-Streamlined compliance expectations
-More practical implementation guidance

EUDR is still evolving, but each iteration is making it more practical to implement and more effective at scaling deforestation-free supply chains globally. 2027 is coming up quickly. Is your business ready?
