ZHWebinar - An update on EU Deforestation Regulation, and its implications for the footwear and leather industries
Thursday 3rd October 2024
10.00, with a recording played at 16.00 BST
We are now getting close to the 30th of December 2024 when the new EUDR regulation comes into effect for goods placed onto the European market. The regulation covers seven commodities (cattle, cocoa, palm oil, rubber, soya and wood) as well as many products derived from those commodities including leather, natural rubber products, and pulp & paper.
Any organisations placing affected goods onto the European market will have to carry out due-diligence to demonstrate that the items are not linked to deforestation, which will involve tracing the supply chain back to the specific location where the cattle were raised or the trees were grown. Whilst the legislation does not currently apply to the importation or sale of finished footwear within the European Union, the legislation is still likely to have far-reaching implications for the footwear industry and its supply chain. The UK government is working on its own deforestation legislation, which will also include leather in its list of commodities.
In this webinar, SATRA is joined by Kerry Senior, director of Leather UK, who will discuss the details of the legislation in more detail, what its impact is likely to be, what companies need to do to ensure they are compliant, and also consider likely future developments to the legislation.
