KOLTIVA launched its EUDR Solutions, tailored for businesses seeking EUDR compliance, which mandates rigorous due diligence. This process includes extensive data collection on product origins; risk assessments on factors like country risk levels and forest presence; implementing risk mitigation measures such as audits and supplier support; and annual public reporting on due diligence systems.
“We view that the EUDR is more than a regulation; it’s a mission, a key element of the European Green Deal, driving climate neutrality by 2050. 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. We stand ready to provide expertise, technology, and services to ensure regulatory adherence while concurrently fostering a sustainable future," says Manfred Borer, CEO and co-founder of KOLTIVA.
"Today signifies a significant milestone in our journey towards a greener, more sustainable future. With the launch of our state-of-the-art EUDR solutions, KOLTIVA is fully committed to helping businesses comply with and combat deforestation with our dependable and adaptable modular methods that go beyond traceability. We're empowering businesses with essential tools to effortlessly navigate EU regulations on deforestation, utilizing our robust traceability platform, KoltiTrace, extension services for sustainable sourcing through KoltiSkills, and expert solutions for comprehensive EUDR analysis reports, data verification," adds Borer.
Key takeaways:
- In response to regulatory pressures, KOLTIVA expanded its solutions to assist businesses through a modular approach based on its KoltiTrace management information system (MIS). This robust mapping and traceability platform offers a scalable solution for independent suppliers to meet the forthcoming EUDR regulations.
- KoltiSkills also provide solutions for processors and manufacturers needing more field staff or third-party assistance. These services include sustainable supply chain mapping, transactional traceability support, and risk mitigation services in the field.
- The latest addition is data verification, which enables manufacturers to independently verify their supply chain data for suppliers using another platform solution, or KoltiTrace, for supply chain mapping without utilizing KoltiSkills services. Data is evaluated based on completeness, quality, and EUDR compliance.
- KoltiTrace MIS platform enables processors with supply chain mapping and risk assessment, ensuring comprehensive producer compliance. It streamlines recording supply chain connections and offers expert field implementation support for businesses lacking resources. To ensure traceable transactions, KOLTIVA verifies supply chain connections from plantations to processors, collaborates with local stakeholders (dealers, agents, collectors) to document traceability by registering transactions from mapped farmers.
- Koltiva’s Field Agent Business Support (FABS) offers training and monitoring at the dealer level to ensure proper implementation, compliance, risk mitigation, and transparency. Koltiva’s remote sensing expertise and robust traceability platform and deforestation maps provide historical data on tree cover loss, enabling in-depth analysis and enhancing the accuracy of deforestation detection and monitoring.
