The Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR) stipulates that only goods and products that do not contribute to deforestation or forest degradation may be placed on the market. Additionally, production must comply with legal requirements. Products sourced from areas deforested after December 30, 2020, cannot be placed on the EU market or exported.
Bol expects its suppliers to comply with the EUDR if their products or ingredients fall within its scope. This includes cattle, palm oil, soy, cocoa, coffee, rubber, and wood, as well as certain derived products such as books and chocolate.
