Answer

The Deforestation SAQ uses specific terms related to land use, environmental protection, forestry, rights, traceability and commodities. Understanding these definitions is important for accurately completing the assessment.

Background

This assessment is aligned with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). The terms defined help clarify the specific information and evidence required regarding the sourcing of certain commodities (like cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soy, wood) and associated due diligence practices.
