European Union deForest Regulation (eudr)

The European Union Deforestation Regulation came into effect on 29 June 2023. It’s aim is to ensure that products imported to the EU have not contributed to global deforestation or the degradation of forest ecosystems. Among the 7 commodities and their related products affected by the law are wood products.

As a leading supplier of logs / wood products we are increasingly subject to requests from businesses within the EU wanting information to assist with their due diligence programmes. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide information to any parties that we do not have a contractual relationship with. We fiercely protect our brand, along with our FSC and PEFC certifications, and our hard-earned sustainability credentials, and must take every measure to ensure that they are used responsibly and ethically. EU based businesses will need to make requests for information from the party with whom they acquired products.
