The regulation

What is the EUDR
and who does it affect?

The EU regulation on deforestation-free products aims to curb deforestation, forest degradation and biodiversity loss in global supply chains. Covered commodities, and goods derived from them, may only be placed on the EU market or exported if they meet three core requirements.

What Polygon One
takes off your plate.

A spreadsheet will not get you far with the EUDR. Once you have to collect geolocation data from many suppliers, check every plot and send due diligence statements to TRACES, you need a system that connects these steps. These are the six things Polygon One handles for you.

  1. You capture your products once. Polygon One builds the due diligence statement from that data and sends it to the EU Information System (TRACES) through the interface. The reference number lands back in the record automatically, ready for the customs declaration and for your customers.

  2. Your suppliers enter their plots themselves through a portal without login, as coordinates or as polygons. Polygon One shows every plot on the map and flags anything that is missing or does not add up.

  3. Polygon One compares every plot by satellite with its state on 31 December 2020. The risk level of the country of production comes from the EU benchmarking under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1093. Certificates and other evidence are read by AI and matched to the right supplier, country and commodity.

  4. If you buy from an operator, you don’t submit a statement of your own, but you do have to keep their reference numbers for five years. Polygon One stores them with the verification number for every delivery, so you can find them straight away during an inspection.

  5. Timber, paper, coffee, cocoa, rubber or palm oil: every commodity has its own customs codes, its own special cases and its own evidence. Our industry guides explain what matters for you:

  6. An API connects Polygon One to your ERP, and the platform is GDPR-compliant. In a 30-minute call we show you the platform, discuss your supply chain and give you a transparent quote.

The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR, Regulation (EU) 2023/1115) requires companies to prove that certain commodities and derived products do not contribute to deforestation or forest degradation. It applies to companies placing these goods on the EU market, making them available, or exporting them from the EU.
