In today’s complex regulatory landscape, understanding and mitigating deforestation risk is critical for maintaining supply chain integrity and compliance. The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) introduces significant new requirements, demanding that organizations demonstrate verifiable proof that their products are not linked to deforestation.
Join Sphera and our partner, Epoch, for an essential webinar designed for procurement, sourcing, and sustainability professionals. Our experts will provide a comprehensive analysis of the latest EUDR updates and discuss strategies to move beyond compliance-driven approaches toward a more resilient and responsible supply chain. 

What you’ll learn 

  • EUDR Regulatory Updates: A detailed analysis of the regulation’s delay, the new compliance timelines, and the direct implications for your organization’s strategy. 
  • Strategic Preparation for Compliance: A clear methodology and proposed timeline for leveraging the upcoming year to build a robust and effective supply chain compliance program, including advanced supply chain mapping and data-driven supplier prioritization.
  • Deforestation Risk Assessment & Beyond: An overview of Sphera and Epoch’s efficient deforestation and legality risk assessments, featuring automated deforestation risk analysis.

Who Should Attend 

This session is designed for professionals seeking actionable insights to address deforestation risks, comply with regulations like the EUDR, and enhance supply chain strategies using advanced technology. Tailored for Compliance, Procurement, Supply Chain, CSR, and ESG leaders, it will equip you to tackle evolving challenges effectively.
