OUR WORK ON THE EU DEFORESTATION REGULATION

To further its efforts in its Sustainable Supply Chains strategy, Drive Sustainability launched an Environmental Due Diligence workstream in early 2024 with an initial focus: Getting to grips with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).

In collaboration with its OEMs, Drive Sustainability’s work aims to help the automotive industry navigate compliance challenges pertaining to the EUDR and prepare them in the most effective way possible in achieving compliance.

To this end, a new Deforestation Sustainability Assessment Questionnaire was developed in collaboration with platform provider NQC. Please reach out to info@drivesustainability.org if you wish to obtain the file.

COLLABORATIVE LEARNING

To support suppliers and OEMs in getting acquainted with the DSAQ, Drive Sustainability is organising 5 online collaborative learning labs aiming to tackle the main hurdles to the EU Deforestation Regulation.

The 5 webinars will respectively tackle an overview of the EUDR; its due diligence requirements, the collection of information, supply chain transparency and a wrap up webinar summing up learnings.

Each webinar will be recorded and stored on this library for future reference.
