The European Parliament's Environment Committee report A9-0179/2020, by rapporteur Delara Burkhardt, recommends an EU legal framework to halt and reverse EU-driven global deforestation. It proposes mandatory due diligence and sanctions for companies placing high-risk commodities on the EU market.
The text is a committee report ahead of plenary votes.
Mandatory due diligence for soy, palm oil, beef and other forest-risk commodities could raise compliance costs and reshape sourcing from Brazil and Southeast Asia over time, but no binding rules exist yet.
After 206 past neutral policy events, SBM moved a median -0.4% over 5 sessions (44% higher; middle half -2.3% to +1.8%), and -0.7% over 20.
