Introduction to the new PEFC EUDR DDS standard module

EU Deforestation Regulation

We held a special information webinar, open to everyone, in April and May, to introduce the new PEFC EUDR DDS module standard and answer your questions.

We have developed this new PEFC EUDR Due Diligence System (DDS) to help our PEFC chain of custody certified organisations comply with their EUDR obligations.

The PEFC EUDR DDS

The PEFC EUDR DDS is built upon the existing chain of custody DDS. Our objective was to make the EUDR framework understandable for organisations to implement, benefitting from the synergies with our existing requirements.

Simplicity has been a key term during the development. Our aim has been to provide a system that is easily integrated within our current chain of custody processes in such a way that the organisation can take the module and implement it within a system they are already familiar with.

The consultation

Public consultations are a vital part of the development process of our standards. They are when you get to read the draft, make your comments, and give direct feedback. Every comment made will get an answer. The consultation closed on 7 May.
