The EMMA4EU report presents 43 case studies to help companies and institutions tackle the challenges of the new EU Regulation on Deforestation-Free Products (EUDR).

Adopted in 2023, the EUDR requires strict standards of legality and sustainability for commodities such as timber, cocoa, coffee, soy, palm oil, and beef. The Innovation Report on Deforestation-Free Supply Chains, developed by the European project EMMA4EU, offers practical guidance for adapting to these requirements.

Through 43 real-world examples from around the globe, the report explores solutions in three key areas:

  • Legal compliance

  • Corporate social responsibility (CSR)

  • Technological tools for traceability

Each case is evaluated based on criteria such as effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, feasibility, and innovation, providing valuable insights for professionals working in supply chains, sustainability, and public policy.
