"With the EU’s Regulation on Deforestation-free Products approaching implementation, it is important to understand its provisions, especially the highly debated 'Risk Benchmarking' among global commodity producers and traders." The backlash from "high-risk" countries has led the European Commission to consider delaying this mechanism, classifying all countries as "standard risk" for now. This delay raises concerns about whether the risk benchmarking will effectively encourage efforts to reduce deforestation and forest degradation, as "low-risk" countries lose the chance to benefit from reduced due diligence requirements. Do you want to better understand what Risk Benchmarking entails and its possible impact for commodities producers? Be sure to read this expert piece about the topic. https://lnkd.in/geDpZrKG #controlunion #certification #EUDR #EUDRCompliance #timberindustry #sustainability #forestproducts #deforestation #environmentalregulations #eu #sustainableforestry #theprooftoyourpromise
