ISEAL's navigating EUDR: compliance and beyond series captures how businesses and credible voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) are steering supply chains toward compliance and beyond in palm oil, cocoa and soy sectors. Each case study explores identifying traceability and legality risks, using proven frameworks and data tools, and advancing smallholder inclusion and sustainable livelihoods in complex commodity systems.
Navigating EUDR: compliance and beyond – case study series
This case study highlights how credible voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) support palm oil companies with regulatory requirements such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Featuring the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), it explores how VSS enable traceability, ensure legal production, and promote smallholder inclusion - helping businesses build deforestation-and conversion-free (DCF) supply chains that go beyond compliance.
This case study is part of a series that looks at how credible VSS are responding to one of the most important legislative developments: the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which aims to prevent products associated with deforestation from being sold on the EU market. Featuring Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade International, it explores how credible VSS drive not only compliance but also meaningful transformation across the cocoa sector.
