Seminar: EUDR Reality Check for Malaysian Exporters - From Traceability Data to Defensible Compliance

The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is reshaping access to the European market, and Malaysian exporters that succeed will be those that can demonstrate compliance with confidence —not just make sustainability claims.

EUDR introduces new expectations for companies exporting to the EU, requiring robust evidence that products are deforestation-free, legally produced, and fully traceable to their origin. For businesses involved in palm oil, rubber, timber, cocoa, coffee, soy, cattle and related products, compliance extends beyond supplier declarations to include geolocation data, supply chain transparency, risk assessment and documented due diligence.

With the Regulation taking effect from December 30, 2026 for large and medium-sized companies and June 30, 2027 for micro and small enterprises, organizations must begin preparing now to address compliance gaps and meet growing customer expectations.

What is the seminar about?

This 4-hour seminar will provide you with a clear understanding of EUDR requirements, the common challenges faced by Malaysian exporters and the key steps needed to build a credible compliance framework.

You will gain actionable insights into traceability, legality verification, geolocation requirements, risk management and due diligence systems, while exploring how SGS can support your EUDR journey through training, gap assessments, verification services and comprehensive readiness solutions.

Who should attend?

Professional in sustainability, ESG, compliance, regulatory affairs, supply chain, export sales and supplier management teams in Malaysian companies that are exporting to the EU or supplying EU bound value chains across EUDR-relevant sectors including palm oil, rubber, timber/wood products, cocoa, coffee, soy, cattle and
derived products.
