What EUDR Screening is.

Find where your products came from, check for forest loss, and keep the evidence in one place.

Deforestation matters

Forests are cleared to make room for fields and pasture. That is deforestation. It can happen far from the shop shelf, where cocoa and coffee grow, cattle graze, and familiar products begin their journey.

Forests shelter wildlife, store carbon and support the people who live around them. By the time a shipment reaches an importer, it may have passed through several hands. Knowing what happened on the land behind it can be hard. Yet customers want clearer answers about where products come from, and EU rules ask covered businesses to find out.

What the EU asks.

The EU introduced the Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) to reduce the forest loss linked to products sold in the EU. It covers listed goods made from cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soy and wood.

Where it came from

What we do.

  1. 01

    Collect locations

    Add them yourself or ask suppliers through a private link.

  2. 02

    Check the land

    We compare each location with forest maps and later satellite records. You see the result, its reason and images to review.

  3. 03

    Review and decide

    Follow up on signals, add supplier evidence and record your conclusion.

  4. 04

    Prepare the record

    If you need an EU declaration, we prepare the supporting files. You submit it yourself.

Satellite data cannot prove a shipment's origin or whether production was legal. Those need your review and other evidence. See the method and limits →

Which steps apply to you?

Importers, EU buyers and businesses checking their own sourcing follow different routes.
