Indonesia: Koltiva reveals EUDR solutions to help businesses navigate EU deforestation regulation
Indonesia-based agtech firm Koltiva, with over 11 years of experience in sustainable agriculture and supply chain traceability across 61 countries, has launched solutions tailored for businesses seeking EUDR compliance, which mandates rigorous Due Diligence. This process includes extensive Data Collection on product origins, including specific geolocation data, ensuring products are deforestation-free and compliant with local laws. Risk assessments consider factors like country risk levels and forest presence. Additionally, businesses are required to implement Risk Mitigation measures such as audits and supplier support. Finally, the Regulation necessitates annual public reporting on due diligence systems and maintaining related documentation for at least five years.
Manfred Borer, CEO and co-founder of Koltiva said: “By adhering to the regulation, businesses contribute to the global fight against deforestation, a significant factor in climate change and biodiversity loss. With the deadline approaching in less than a year, we reaffirm our commitment to assisting businesses in achieving compliance.”
