WEBINAR - Drive Sustainability & Drive+ Atelier: EU Update on Deforestation-Free Products Regulation

CLOSED EVENT-BY INVITATION ONLY

View Agenda

After the publication of the European Commission proposal for a regulation on Deforestation-free Products, on 13 September 2022, the European Parliament adopted the proposed ENVI text, expanding the regulation's scope to cover more commodities such as rubber, palm-oil-based derivates, charcoal and printed paper products.

The European Commission proposed regulation would impose a duty of due diligence on operators placing specific commodities or products (soy, beef, palm oil, wood, cocoa and coffee and some of their derived products such as leather, chocolate or furniture) on the EU market to make sure that the goods have been produced in deforestation-free countries after 31 December 2020.

In this context, it is crucial to understand how the above regulation will impact the Automotive Sector and its wider ecosystem. Drive Sustainability and Drive+ are organizing a virtual informative session addressed to their members and the Drive+ network to better understand the impact of the European Deforestation Regulation on their business and promote a common approach within the industry.

The session will connect Drive Sustainability and Drive+ members and some external stakeholders and experts for a first informal debate on the EU regulation on Deforestation and its impact on the Automotive sector.

JOIN THIS EVENT TO:

  • Better understand how the European Deforestation Regulation will impact their business sector.

  • Discover what companies should expect from the final version of the regulation.

  • Share best practices among OEMs and their suppliers for an approach that goes beyond due diligence.

WHO SHOULD JOIN:

  • Drive Sustainability OEMs & Drive+ members.
