Achieve deforestation compliance with your products with a cutting-edge solution developed in collaboration with leading enterprise brands. This streamlined approach enhances shipment traceability by leveraging geospatial data from original farm sources, Due Diligence Statements (DDS), and certificates, ensuring compliance with the EU Regulation on Deforestation-free products (EUDR) or other global deforestation-related regulations.

Preparing for EUDR compliance involves a series of complex steps that can take several months to implement. Our solution is specifically designed to help brands stay ahead, ensuring they are well-prepared before the regulation’s enforcement date.

This solution is available as a BETA release, and brands interested in exploring or testing this solution are encouraged to contact TrusTrace support for further details and assistance.

Key Features

• Shipment Level Traceability 
  • Scalable Data Collection 
    • Efficiently launch data collection requests for multiple purchase orders (POs) at once, significantly reducing time and administrative efforts.
    • Simplified supplier workflows by allowing them to respond to multiple PO requests simultaneously.
  • Streamlined Collection 
    • Map the origin of commodities to the source farms or forests, ensuring full shipment traceability for EU-bound goods as per EUDR standards.
    • Capture and record essential data, including geolocation coordinates, country of origin, HS codes, harvest dates, and certification details using a standardized EUDR-compliant template.
  • Robust Approval Workflow
    • Review supplier-submitted data and either approve or reject responses based on completeness and accuracy. Only verified data will progress through the compliance workflow.
      
  • Validate Certificates
    • Verifies the authenticity and validity of uploaded FSC certificates by matching the company name extracted from the certificate with the declared supplier or facility.
      
  • Reuse Supply Chain Data** 
    • Enables suppliers to easily reuse data already declared in the Supply Chain Map (SCM) requests, eliminating the need to re-enter the same information for EUDR compliance.
• Precise Risk Assessment
  • Deforestation Risk Assessment of Geodata by Open Atlas 
    • Utilize Open Atlas to assess deforestation risk in specific regions based on the supplier’s response.
    • Leverage visual satellite imagery to compare land conditions before December 31, 2020, against harvest dates, ensuring transparency in compliance documentation.
  • Customize Supplier Assessments**
    • Conduct Legality Assessments to evaluate supplier compliance with local laws.
    • Assess supplier reliability and the accuracy of their due diligence processes.
  • Risk by Country**
    • Leverage the EU benchmark database to identify high-risk regions by categorizing countries into three deforestation risk levels: Low Risk, Standard Risk, and High Risk.
    • Conduct deeper due diligence on suppliers sourcing from high-risk regions.
  •  Confirm FSC Certificates**
    • Ensure supplier certificates are valid with the FSC API integration.
• Auto Generation of Due Diligence Statements
  • Comprehensive Compliance Reporting
    • Generate comprehensive compliance reports for each shipment, including deforestation analysis results. These reports enable you to generate your own DDS and seamlessly submit them to the EU systems.
  • Automated DDS Generation**
    • Automatically generate DDS that comply with European Commission requirements, simplifying regulatory compliance for each shipment.
  • Direct Submission of DDS to EU TRACES**
    • Directly submit DDS generated through the TrusTrace application to the EU Trade Control and Expert System (TRACES), ensuring efficient and seamless regulatory compliance.
• Risk and Compliance Dashboard
  • Real-time Monitoring Dashboard
    • Track the progress of data collection requests and compliance metrics in real-time.
  • Risk and Compliance Dashboard**
    • Gain comprehensive insights into shipment data, compliance status, and potential risks.
    • Proactively monitor and mitigate risks, ensuring full transparency in internal and external reporting.
