In the frame of the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) applying by the end of 2024, Drive Sustainability, Drive +, CLEPA and VDA are working together to ensure their understanding of the EUDR and that of their members is thorough.

A first joint webinar was delivered last March to deep dive into the legislative framework and the practical implications of its due diligence requirements high on the agenda of car- and truck makers and their suppliers.

To further our collaborative efforts, we have commissioned the law firm contrast for initial insights into key elements of the EUDR, particularly those pertaining to the automotive sector. The questions raised during the March webinar were also answered in the herewith provided Scoping document.
