Webinar: EUDR Readiness to EUDR Reality

The EU Deforestation Regulation’s first compliance milestone lands on 31 December 2026, with most companies required to comply from 1 January 2027. While many organisations have spent the last two years assessing the regulation and developing compliance plans, the real challenge is now implementation.

For some businesses, compliance preparation may appear relatively straightforward. However, organisations are increasingly discovering that implementation becomes significantly more complex once they begin collecting real supplier data, mapping supply chains and validating information across multiple tiers. Hidden challenges around data quality, supplier engagement, traceability and governance often only emerge once implementation is underway.

In this webinar, Anthesis and LiveEO will share practical insights from supporting companies on their EUDR journey. We will explore the common implementation challenges organisations are encountering, the critical success factors for overcoming them, and how a combination of effective processes, strong governance, supplier engagement and digital tools can help businesses move from readiness to compliance.

About Anthesis & LiveEO

Anthesis and LiveEO have come together to bring LiveEO capabilities to Anthesis Intelligence, Anthesis’s platform for turning complex sustainability data into decision-ready insights. This webinar will include a live demonstration of satellite-based deforestation risk analysis and show how a combination of Anthesis’s specialist expertise with a digital augmentation can be a very successful solution for your EUDR compliance, supplier engagement and risk management ambitions.

Why it matters

With the compliance deadline rapidly approaching, organisations can no longer rely on high-level readiness assessments alone. Businesses need practical implementation strategies that work across complex supply chains and diverse supplier networks.  While technology plays an important role in supporting traceability, risk identification and data collection, experience shows that technology alone is not enough. Successful EUDR programmes are built on a combination of clear governance structures, robust operational processes, effective supplier engagement and fit-for-purpose digital solutions.  This session will draw on practical implementation experience to help organisations anticipate challenges, avoid common pitfalls and build a more effective path to compliance.

This webinar covers:

• The most common implementation challenges companies encounter when moving from planning to execution
• Why supplier complexity is often underestimated during EUDR readiness programmes
• Key barriers related to data collection, traceability, supplier engagement and governance
• The role of technology in supporting EUDR implementation, and its limitations when deployed in isolation
• Practical approaches for combining process, governance, supplier engagement and digital tools to create a scalable compliance programme
• Actions organisations should prioritise as they prepare for the December 2026 compliance milestone

At the heart of this discussion is whether your renewable electricity strategy is delivering value, both financially and environmentally. Through Anthesis’ ROI² approach, we evaluate return on investment and return on impact together, helping organisations make more informed decisions that balance commercial and sustainability outcomes.

Regulators, investors, customers and auditors are asking increasingly detailed questions about renewable electricity strategies. This session is designed for organisations seeking credible, evidence-based answers, not simply renewable energy certificates.
