EUDR: Last days to participate in a public consultation to strengthen FSC standards and continue fighting deforestation globally

29.02.2024

The public consultation for these requirements is open on the Consultation Platform. The closing date is announced for 1 March, but the consultation will remain open for a few days.

 

PARTICIPATE IN THE CONSULTATION

 

A key part of FSC’s offer is the development of requirements for the FSC Regulatory Module: a voluntary module that complements existing FSC certification requirements to support EUDR compliance. It presents additional forest management, chain of custody and controlled wood requirements for organizations looking to use their FSC certification to support their efforts to demonstrate compliance with EUDR. The FSC Regulatory Module sets the framework and requirements to:  

  • introduce a due diligence system to support EUDR compliance, including information collection, risk assessment and risk mitigation,  
  • gather and transmit precise information on the origin of products (geolocation and time of production), and  
  • adds further assurance that only deforestation-free material enters an FSC chain of custody value chain that needs to be EUDR compliant.
