MILAN – The European Coffee Federation (ECF) has released a comprehensive EUDR Due Diligence Guidance document to help coffee businesses navigate the new regulatory landscape under Regulation (EU) 2023/1115. This essential resource provides a structured framework for companies placing coffee on the EU market or exporting from the EU, ensuring compliance with the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
Developed in alignment with Article 8 of the EUDR, the Guidance outlines the key steps to meeting due diligence requirements, from collecting the necessary data (Article 9) to conducting robust risk assessments (Article 10) and implementing effective risk mitigation measures (Article 11).
In addition to regulatory insights, it offers practical examples tailored to the coffee supply chain, helping businesses build resilient compliance systems while supporting Competent Authorities in understanding the sector’s complexities.
As EUDR compliance deadlines approach, this Guidance serves as both a roadmap and a baseline reference for companies preparing their Due Diligence processes.
Whether you’re an industry leader or a new market entrant, ECF’s Guidance is an indispensable tool for ensuring sustainable, deforestation-free coffee trade.
