The Rainforest Alliance has set up systems to support producers and supply chain actors to meet the requirements of the European Union Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR). In addition to the Rainforest Alliance’s standard requirements that already align closely with the regulation, five specific EUDR-aligned requirements have been introduced to address the differences between our certification program and the EUDR requirements.
These requirements are only applicable to cocoa and coffee Farm Certificate Holders. All certified farms are evaluated against these requirements in their audits. Not meeting the requirements does not have an impact on their certification status, and their data will not be shared. Meeting these requirements supports actors further down their supply chains to comply with the EUDR and continue selling their products on the EU market.
Here you can find a list of Certificate holders that have been audited and meet additional EUDR-aligned requirements in the Rainforest Alliance’s Alignment with the EUDR Policy:
