EU 2023/1115For exporters outside the EU

Get EUDR ready.
Keep your EU customers.

Polygon One checks your upstream suppliers' plots by satellite and consolidates the evidence into one EUDR compliance certificate. Your EU customers build their risk assessment on it.

For manufacturers, processors and suppliers outside the EU, not for exports out of the Union.

The challenge

You are the last link
before Europe.

From December 30, 2026, European companies may only source furniture, paper, rubber goods, soy products or other EUDR-relevant goods if the entire supply chain is documented without gaps, right back to the plot of production. As a manufacturer you sit in the middle: your customers want traceability down to the plot, but the data sits with your own suppliers, and often there are many of them.

You need data you do not hold yourself

Traceability to the plot of production calls for geodata from sawmills, plantations and intermediaries, and you have to collect it from them first.

Every customer asks differently

Several European buyers want the same underlying data in different formats, to different deadlines and at different levels of detail.

Complex product portfolios

Different materials, timber species or paper grades mean different, sometimes parallel supply chains for each product line.

Internal friction

Purchasing, export, quality management and IT juggle the same information in separate spreadsheets, with no single source.

at least 4%
of your customer's EU turnover, the floor the law sets for the maximum fine. Your buyer is the one fined, and the business relationship carries it.
Delisting
is a real risk with large European buyers if you cannot produce solid evidence
5 years
retention obligation for every piece of evidence along the chain
The solution

Every supplier,
in one system.

Polygon One for exporters aggregates the geodata and evidence from your own suppliers, checks it automatically and condenses it into one EUDR compliance certificate per product line or plant, which every European customer can take straight into their own due diligence.

Step 1

Invite upstream suppliers and aggregate their data

Invite your own suppliers, whether sawmills, plantation operators, pulp or raw material suppliers, into Polygon One. They enter plot data, certificates and evidence themselves, or upload existing GeoJSON, KML or shapefiles. You keep every upstream tier in view in one dashboard.

  • Invitation by link, with no software for the supplier to install
  • Upload of GeoJSON, KML and shapefiles
  • Completeness status per supplier in the dashboard
What you get

Your evidence package,
across every tier.

Certificate

EUDR compliance certificate per product line

A versioned certificate per product line or plant, with a reference number, the verified plots along your entire upstream chain, the status of the legal risk review and the country risk. Your European customers can verify its status at any time via a QR code or check link.

  • Unique reference number and QR verification
  • Separate certificates per product line, plant or material type
  • Validity date with an automatic reminder to renew

Documents

Supplier and document management at scale

Manage any number of upstream suppliers in one place. Upload certificates, land use records or supply contracts and our AI reads them, suggests which legal risk categories they cover and spots gaps, contradictions and expiring evidence automatically, across your entire supplier base.

  • Central supplier register with a completeness status per supplier
  • Automatic text recognition and categorisation of evidence documents
  • Expiry warnings for time-limited certificates, across every tier

Customers

One system, many European customers

Keep a list of your European buyers and share the matching certificate and data package straight from the platform, tailored to each product line and customer. When something in your supply chain changes, you update once and every linked customer automatically sees the new status.

  • Central customer list with a sharing status per buyer and product line
  • Automatic notification when something is updated
  • Access log: who received which document and when
  • Optional ERP and API integration for automated data exchange

Example

One document,
your customer takes over.

The certificate sets out what your European customer needs for their own due diligence statement: your upstream supply chain, verified plots, legality evidence with the status of the legal risk review, and the country risk, consolidated across every supplier and country involved, in one document they can take straight into their due diligence system.

Note: The certificate is an evidence document from Polygon One, not an official approval and not an independent guarantee of conformity; there is no official EUDR certification. It replaces neither your customer's due diligence statement (DDS) in TRACES nor their risk assessment and risk mitigation under Articles 10 and 11 EUDR. It does give them the data and evidence from your upstream supply chain, verified and in the right structure, for every product line they buy from you, so they no longer have to request it from you piece by piece.
Your advantage

Why this
pays off for you.

The core argument

A competitive advantage built on documented supply chain data

Formally, the EUDR puts the risk assessment on the European importer, not on you as the exporter. That is precisely what makes your certificate valuable: if geodata, legality evidence and country risk are already verified, your customer can base their own assessment on them instead of requesting everything from you piece by piece. For the importer that means less effort, less risk and faster supplier approval. For you it means a clear edge in the competition for European customers over rivals who cannot supply that evidence.

Keep customers instead of losing them

Stay a listed supplier with large European buyers instead of losing ground to competitors who can prove compliance.

Aggregate once, use many times

Consolidate your upstream supply chain data once and serve any number of European customers and product lines with it.

Take the load off your departments

Purchasing, export, quality management and IT work from one shared, current data set instead of parallel spreadsheets.

Cleared faster, paid faster

Complete, verified evidence speeds up approval and payment processes at your European customers.

Customers of every size rely on our expertise.

The due diligence statement (DDS) is submitted by your European customer to the EU platform TRACES; legally it is their duty. Your certificate from Polygon One gives them the data they need for it, aggregated across your upstream supply chain: geographic coordinates, legality evidence and country risk, structured so they can take it over directly. It does not replace the DDS, but it makes producing one considerably easier and faster for your customer.

You invite your upstream suppliers straight into Polygon One. They enter their plots themselves or upload existing GeoJSON, KML or shapefiles. A central dashboard keeps completeness and status per supplier in view.

Yes. You can model a separate supply chain for each product line or plant and issue a separate certificate for it, each with its own GeoJSON and evidence package.

In the Enterprise plan, yes. The API synchronises product master data, supplier lists and volumes automatically instead of you maintaining them by hand.

You maintain one central customer list and share the matching certificate and data package from the same data set, per customer and product line, without compiling the data more than once.

Whenever your upstream supply chain, plots or evidence change, and at least once a year. Polygon One reminds you automatically before it expires.

No. The risk assessment and the due diligence statement (DDS) remain your European customer's duty, and the responsibility stays with them. Your certificate does hand them the verified geodata, the legality evidence with the status of the legal risk review and the country risk rating, exactly the pieces they would otherwise have to request from you one by one. That cuts their workload substantially and makes you the preferred supplier compared with competitors who cannot show this evidence.

The data belongs to you and your suppliers. You decide which European customer sees which document, and you can review and revoke access at any time. Details are in the privacy policy.
