KOLTIVA Helps Businesses Fight Deforestation in Europe

Forests are crucial for our planet, but sadly, a huge amount of trees are being cut down every year. This is a big problem, linked to climate change and loss of animal and plant life.

The European Union (EU) is a major buyer of products like cocoa and coffee, and some of these products may be linked to deforestation. To tackle this issue, the EU created a new regulation called EUDR.

What is EUDR?

EUDR is a set of rules that businesses must follow if they import certain products into the EU. These products include things like cocoa, coffee, palm oil, and wood. The goal of EUDR is to make sure these products are not linked to deforestation.

How can businesses comply with EUDR?

There’s a company called KOLTIVA that helps businesses comply with EUDR. They offer a variety of tools and services, including:

• Mapping supply chains: This helps businesses track where their products come from, from the farm all the way to the store shelf.
• Verifying data: KOLTIVA can check if the information businesses have about their supply chains is accurate.
• Training and monitoring: KOLTIVA can train people involved in the supply chain on how to comply with EUDR regulations. They can also monitor the supply chain to make sure the rules are being followed.
• Reducing deforestation risks: KOLTIVA can help businesses identify and address any deforestation risks in their supply chains.

Why is this important?

By complying with EUDR, businesses can help to protect forests and fight climate change. This benefits everyone, from the environment to consumers who want to buy products that are not linked to deforestation.

What’s next?

The EUDR deadline is coming up soon, so many businesses need to act quickly to become compliant. KOLTIVA’s tools and services can help them achieve this goal and contribute to a more sustainable future.
