As a forestry buyer, the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) mandates clear traceability of your timber’s origin. Non-compliance isn’t just a risk; it could disrupt your supply chain and jeopardize access to European markets. To ensure uninterrupted operations and continued international sales, efficiently gathering specific timber origin data from your suppliers is paramount.

For EUDR compliance, you’ll need the exact geographic location (point or boundary) of the land and the specific timeframe of the timber harvest. 

Dear Valued Customers,

We are excited to announce the upcoming release of the CFX+ Sources app in July 2025! This innovative tool is designed to streamline your timber sourcing operations and ensure compliance with the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Sources is part of Forestry One, Trimble’s recently announced global Forestry platform product that was showcased at Trimble’s Forestry User Conference built on Trimble’s cloud-native common platform.

This upcoming release will include many features you need for buyers and sellers of wood fiber to collaborate exchanging information necessary for regulatory compliance with EUDR, but also to improve how you work today making agreements and plans between forest managers (sellers) and mill managers (buyers and sellers) and pulp mills (buyers). 

If you have been planning on working with your suppliers and buyers to start sharing information in preparation for EUDR, this release is for you and now is your time to prepare for July. You can now upload the information you need, share it between companies, and export geojson files needed for uploading to EU Traces, the EUDR compliance web-portal for European buyers. Simple.

Forward this email to your suppliers and start planning together when you will try it out for yourselves, July will be here before you know it and you will need to get started to be prepared in time for the January 1st 2026 enforcement deadline for compliance.

Here are the key features of CFX+ Sources, along with their benefits:

• Detailed Source Information Management: Manage supplier and geolocation data, enhancing traceability and compliance with sourcing regulations.
• Search Functionality: Quickly find sources using specific criteria, improving efficiency in data retrieval and decision-making.
• Bulk Import and Export: Easily transfer source data via web and API interfaces, streamlining data management and integration with existing systems.
• Compliance Management: Attach necessary documents for legal obligations, ensuring all compliance documentation is readily accessible.

The EU Council, Commission and Parliament agreed to delay EUDR enforcement until December 20, 2025.  The agreement will not change the EUDR regulations.  The addition of a “No Risk” category is no longer on the table.  The Council and Parliament will now have to endorse the provisional agreement and formally adopt it.  

Now is the time to act!  Increasing visibility and control over your fiber supply is the key to regulatory compliance and improving your supply chain efficiency. Trimble CFX+ is the platform you need to comply with EUDR. Contact Forestry Sales now to learn more.

An EUDR Source is defined under the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) as the origin of goods or raw materials that comply with measures to prevent deforestation and forest degradation¹. This regulation targets commodities like palm oil, soy, and timber, ensuring they are produced in an environmentally responsible manner². For forest product companies, a Source includes land ownership information and harvest worksite boundaries within the owned land that wood comes from that is put into the European market. 

Why EUDR Sources are Important:

• Environmental Protection: Helps preserve forests, crucial for biodiversity and climate regulation.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensures companies avoid legal penalties and maintain market access in the EU.
• Market Reputation: Enhances company reputation among environmentally conscious consumers and partners.
• Supply Chain Integrity: Promotes transparency and traceability, improving risk management.
• Global Sustainability: Supports international efforts to combat deforestation and promote sustainable practices.

EUDR Source Requirements:

1. Geolocation Information: The source must include precise geolocation data. For areas larger than 4 hectares, this data should be in the form of polygons, and for areas smaller than 4 hectares, points can be used. This allows for accurate mapping and management of the geographical location of sources.
2. Product Details: Information about the products being sourced, including type, quantity, and any relevant product identifiers, must be provided. This ensures that the products can be accurately tracked from their point of origin.
3. Compliance Certifications: Any certifications or documentation that verify the source’s compliance with relevant environmental, social, or legal standards should be included. This is crucial for demonstrating adherence to regulations like the EUDR.
4. Company and Contact Information: Details about the company owning or managing the source, including contact name, address, phone number, and email, are required. This ensures that there is a clear point of contact for any queries or verification processes.
5. Harvest and Production Duration: Information on the duration of harvest and production activities at the source should be provided. This helps in assessing the sustainability and environmental impact of the sourcing practices.
6. Source Identifier: A unique identifier for the source (Source ID) is necessary for easy reference and tracking within systems managing source information.
