Let’s talk
They have a large land/ water-based footprint (direct or upstream)
They want to innovate and create positive impact in the space
They seek better alignment with the market and regulatory/ investor expectations
We help them address these challenges through 3 routes:
We develop the internal business case to protect and restore nature.
We provide insights that support reporting obligations and drive action.
We develop nature strategies that address nature loss and drive business value.
These qualities drive the following outcomes:
We build a business case and give you the skills to communicate and understand nature
We provide science-based and action-oriented knowledge of how your business interacts with nature
These are the seven raw materials covered by the law: cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood.
These are goods listed in Annex I that either contain, were made using, or were produced from the relevant commodities.
This means changing land from forest into agricultural use, regardless of how or why it happened.
This is land larger than 0.5 hectares with trees over 5 metres tall and more than 10% canopy cover, unless it is mainly used for agriculture or urban purposes.
This is land where trees are grown as part of farming systems, such as oil palm or fruit plantations, and it is not considered forest under the Regulation.
This refers to damaging changes to forests, such as converting natural forests into plantation forests or less dense wooded land.
A product is deforestation-free if its commodities were not produced on land deforested after 31 December 2020, and for wood, also not linked to forest degradation after that date.
This means a commodity was grown, harvested, raised or obtained from a specific plot of land or establishment.
This is the company or person who first places a product on the EU market or exports it, and therefore carries the main compliance responsibility.
This is any company in the supply chain that sells or distributes products after they have already been placed on the EU market.
This means making a product available on the EU market for the first time.
This is a specific area of land, recognised legally in the country of production, where the commodity is produced and can be assessed for deforestation risk.
This is the exact location of the plot of land, defined using precise latitude and longitude coordinates, and often as a polygon for larger areas.
This means there is no real reason to believe the product is non-compliant after completing a full risk assessment and any necessary mitigation.
This is the country where the commodity, or the commodity used in a product, was originally produced.
This refers to all applicable laws in the producing country, including those on land rights, environment, labour, human rights, and anti-corruption.
