PEFC and osapiens Partner to Advance Sustainable Forestry

The EUDR requires European companies to ensure that their supply chains are deforestation free. It applies to commodities such as cocoa, palm oil, soy, rubber, timber, coffee and cattle, as well as various derived products. The extensive requirements of the EUDR necessitate the collection, processing and preparation of significant amounts of data.

Osapiens, a leading ESG platform and provider of compliance and sustainability reporting solutions, has developed the osapiens HUB for EUDR, an end-to-end solution that enables organisations to achieve EUDR compliance with maximum automation.

PEFC-certified organisations will benefit from the comprehensive features of the osapiens HUB at a special rate. This platform supports companies in maintaining transparent and sustainable supply chains, aligning with PEFC’s rigorous certification standards.

“We are excited to be partnering with osapiens to give PEFC chain of custody certified organisations access to leading edge technology solutions for EUDR compliance,” said Rob Shaw, Head of Standards and Integrity at PEFC International. “We will be working with osapiens to integrate the PEFC EUDR Due Diligence System (DDS) into their platform, facilitating frictionless supply chains in time for EUDR implementation at the end of 2024.”

“At osapiens, we enable companies to meet ESG requirements such as the EUDR with ease and confidence” said Matthias Jungblut, CPO and CO-Founder at osapiens. “By joining forces with PEFC, we’re extending our solution to more organisations, helping them successfully adopt the EUDR and advance their sustainability goals.”

This partnership is particularly advantageous for PEFC-certified organisations, timber suppliers, and environmental compliance officers seeking to adhere to EUDR regulations while promoting sustainable forestry practices.
