Deforestation-free Supply Chains

A major driver of deforestation globally is agricultural expansion; large agri-businesses are increasingly under pressure by consumers to provide traceability of their supply chains in relation to reduced impact on the environment. Recent regulatory frameworks, such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), mandate stringent monitoring and reporting, to ensure that commodities such as soy, cocoa, coffee, rubber, cattle and palm oil entering the EU market are not linked to deforestation since 2021. EO provides independent data at regular intervals with global coverage for creating robust monitoring systems, including the development of forest benchmark maps and recurrent forest degradation maps, supporting producers, traders, and governments in monitoring deforestation impacts and demonstrating compliance with regulations.
