🌳 We're keeping a close eye on the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) as it evolves. Starting from the end of 2024, companies will need to ensure that certain commodities like cattle, wood, and palm oil, as well as listed derivative products like leather, are proven deforestation-free before they can enter or exit the EU market. ⚙️ Developing a robust internal compliance protocol is crucial, given the complexity of the required due diligence and the significant penalties for non-compliance. At Vaayu, we're already exploring ways our solutions, including across the supply chain, might help businesses gain better insight into deforestation risks, as the list of covered products is expected to expand in the future with greater impact on retailers. ✅ Keeping our partners compliant is a major priority. Stay tuned as we further enhance our tech to support your sustainability goals, even under new regulations. 🔗 For guidance on EUDR compliance, read the official regulation and more details here: https://lnkd.in/e6A9bMCn #eudr #retaillegislation #enddeforestation

Thanks to regulations and standards like PEF for Apparel and Footwear, interest in life cycle assessment (LCA) across additional impact categories beyond carbon is growing. These other categories, including types of water and waste, also quantify specific areas of ecological concern, like global warming, ozone depletion, eutrophication and more. 💚 We were proud to be the first impact software to move beyond carbon and account for all of PEF’s 16 impact categories. And our AI and machine learning make our solutions scalable, so we offer future-proof impact management, compliance and reduction — whatever the requirements may be.
