Brussels eases corporate obligations ahead of EU deforestation law implementation

In a strategic move to balance environmental goals with business competitiveness, the European Commission has announced a simplification package for the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), easing corporate compliance ahead of its implementation on December 31, 2025. The new measures aim to reduce administrative burdens by up to 30%, while reinforcing the EU’s commitment to a robust carbon neutral strategy and ESG alignment. 

The EUDR is a flagship initiative under the European Green Deal, designed to block products linked to deforestation from entering the EU single market. It targets commodities such as palm oil, wood, rubber, beef, and their derivatives—including leather, furniture, chocolate, and printed paper. Companies will be required to conduct due diligence and prove that their supply chains are free from deforestation post-2020. 

Under the updated rules, businesses will now be allowed to submit sustainability statements annually instead of per shipment, significantly easing compliance efforts. Companies can also reuse due diligence declarations when re-importing goods that have already been cleared, and they may utilize reference numbers from suppliers rather than duplicating data collection efforts. These provisions are particularly beneficial for large enterprises navigating complex international supply chains. 

The Commission has also updated compliance guidance for EU companies, member states, and trading partners. A key addition still under development is a benchmarking system to classify countries as low-, medium-, or high-risk—set for adoption by June 30, 2025. This system will inform risk-based due diligence requirements moving forward. 

Despite political pressure to dilute the regulation, the Commission reaffirmed its environmental objectives. “We are committed to implementing the EU rules on deforestation in a spirit of close cooperation, transparency, and open dialogue,” said EU Environment Commissioner Jessika Roswall. 

The EUDR’s updated compliance framework signals a pragmatic step forward in integrating ESG principles into trade and supply chain governance while upholding the EU’s broader carbon neutral strategy.
