At Esterchem Ltd, we are actively preparing for the introduction of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), ensuring that all relevant products supplied to our EU customers meet the new requirements ahead of implementation.
The first phase of EUDR will affect only a small part of our product portfolio from December 2026, but the scope will expand significantly from December 2027 as additional products recently added to Annex I come into effect. We’re already planning the work needed with suppliers and stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition and continued compliance.
The UK Government has also indicated that it intends to introduce similar measures under the Environment Act 2021, creating a more aligned framework for businesses operating across both regions.
Regulatory change can be challenging, but it also presents an opportunity to strengthen transparency, traceability, and sustainability throughout global supply chains. We’re committed to staying ahead of these developments and helping our customers navigate them with confidence.
