Facilitate EUDR compliance and deforestation-free sourcing through step-by-step guidance
The Seedtrace platform enables you to implement traceability and track potential deforestation in your global supply chains. Seamless collaboration with your partners on collecting geo-data and completing self-assessments is built in. For each of the seven commodities – cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soy, rubber, timber, and cattle – and their derivative products like chocolate, leather, or furniture, our solution provides scalable and accurate monitoring of every forest, plantation, or field worldwide.
Conduct a credible deforestation assessment through satellite imagery and mitigate risks
Supported by fine-grained remote sensing technology, we enable you to conduct a credible deforestation analysis along your supply chains. The process includes flexible geo-data upload with automated parsing, normalisation and validation. Upon completion of all steps, your due diligence statement is ready for submission to the EU Information System.
How does it work?
The EU directive will enter into obligation for large companies on 30 December 2024 and will become mandatory for micro and small business from 30 June 2025. However, on 2 October 2024, the European Commission proposed a 12-month delay in enforcing the EUDR. If the European Parliament and the Council approve the delay, the law will come into full effect on 30 December 2025 for large companies and on 30 June 2026 for micro- and small enterprises. Find out how Seedtrace helps you to navigate the regulation.
Data upload and verification
Seedtrace offers assistance during the data collection to understand data availability and identify bottlenecks. The platform allows users to check data quality and identify the need for revisions or error correction. Supported file formats for the upload of geo- locations and polygon data are: GeoJSON, KML, CSV and XLSX.

Fulfill reporting and mitigation requirements
“By utilising a platform for transparent supply chains, we can confidently trace the journey of our cocoa from the farms in Ghana to our shelves. The level of transparency enables us to not only verify fair payments to our cocoa farmers but also ensures that our products comply with the requirements of EUDR.”
