EU Deforestation Regulation

Understanding how the European Union's deforestation requirements affect wood products, responsible sourcing and supply-chain transparency.

EUDR

What does it mean?

What is the EU Deforestation Regulation?

The EU Deforestation Regulation, commonly known as EUDR, is a European Union regulation aimed at reducing the contribution of products placed on the EU market to global deforestation and forest degradation.

The regulation introduces requirements around the origin, legality and traceability of certain commodities and products, including a range of wood-based products.

For businesses operating within the scope of the regulation, this means having appropriate systems in place to understand where relevant materials originate and to demonstrate that applicable requirements have been met.

Deforestation-Free

Products must meet the regulation's requirements relating to deforestation and forest degradation.

Legally Sourced

Relevant products must comply with applicable legislation in the country where the material was produced.

Traceable

Supply-chain information must support appropriate traceability and due diligence requirements.

Responsible forest management
Our Approach

Responsible sourcing starts with knowing where wood comes from.

At BB Living, responsible sourcing is an important part of our approach to natural wood products. Understanding the origin of timber helps us build greater transparency throughout the supply chain.

We work with suppliers and partners to collect and maintain relevant information about materials and their origin. This helps create a clearer chain of information from the source of the timber to the finished product.

As regulatory expectations develop, we continue to review our processes and documentation so that our supply chain can respond appropriately to applicable requirements.

Our Preparation

Preparing for greater supply-chain transparency

Meeting regulatory requirements requires cooperation across the entire supply chain. Our focus is on building reliable processes that make relevant information easier to collect, verify and manage.

01

Supplier Information

Working with suppliers to understand the origin and relevant characteristics of the timber used in our products.

02

Data & Documentation

Improving the way relevant supply-chain information is collected, organised and maintained for applicable products.

03

Traceability

Building processes that support greater visibility across the supply chain and help us respond to applicable due diligence obligations.

For Our Partners

Working together for a more transparent supply chain.

EUDR compliance is not something that can be achieved by one organisation alone. Reliable information depends on cooperation between suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and customers.

We therefore encourage open communication with our supply-chain partners and work towards improving the availability and quality of information required for applicable products.

This approach helps strengthen transparency and gives our customers greater confidence in the responsible sourcing of the products they purchase.

What this means for customers

Customers purchasing applicable BB Living products for the EU market can expect us to continue developing our sourcing and traceability processes in line with applicable requirements.
