Meeting the requirements of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is essential for businesses striving to comply with regulations and maintain a cost-effective organization and supply chain. With Qarma’s upcoming Product Compliance solution for EUDR simplifies this process with advanced tools that empower companies to:
- Collect and validate data from suppliers: Geo-location data and document packages that match risk profiles can be collected from suppliers and validated by your in-house team (optional).
- Monitor and mitigate deforestation risks: Leverage cutting-edge technologies like, satellite imagery, and geo-data validation to identify and address risks effectively.
- Streamline EUDR reporting processes: Automate the preparation and submission of due diligence statements to the EU information system, ensuring seamless compliance with the deforestation regulation.
- Supplier engagement: Suppliers will automatically be engaged through notifications and follow-ups from Qarma for providing data, and when documents need to be renewed.

Data Collection from suppliers
With Qarma’s Product Compliance solution for EUDR, suppliers can disclose the required master data on products, material and production directly in the system.
- Commodity
- Species
- Volume
- Geolocation information on place of harvest
- DDS reference and verification number
Risk Assessment Process
Analyzing the submitted data, our solution assigns a risk level to the included materials and their supply chain. The risk level is generated with inputs from external sources such as the EU country benchmarking system and other risk assessment tool. Both deforestation and legality risks are considered.
Deforestation risks are analyzed using satellite imagery, where our partners automatically process the geolocation data to assess deforestation.
Risk Mitigation Measures
Based on the assigned risk level, the solution requests documentation directly from you supply chain partners for risk mitigation measures. This is an integrated and automated process, so once country of harvest is known, the system will generate a list of required documents for the supplier to provide. If FSC or PEFC certifications are in place, the system will automatically reduce the list of required documents.
Automatic generation and submission of DDS
After completed risk mitigation and data collection, the information will be automatically submitted to EUs information system and the reference number and verification code is automatically retrieved and stored.
Data integrations
Product and PO data can be transferred to Qarma through our flexible API, which allows both direct integrations with ERP and PLM systems as well as manual upload of e.g. Excel files.
Once due diligence statements have been submitted, the reference numbers and verification codes can be automatically forwarded into ERP or other systems, or provided in automated data exports in Excel for forwarding to customers.
Dashboard for easy overview
An integrated dashboard will quickly give you an idea of progress, gaps and outstanding measures so you know where to focus your efforts and don’t miss any deadlines.
