# Implementing due diligence regulations on the use of timber and forest risk commodities in Great Britain

> The UK government opened a consultation on proposed due-diligence regulations for businesses using coffee, cocoa, cattle, soy, oil palm, rubber, timber, and derived products in Great Britain. The proposals cover which businesses and products would be in scope and how firms would identify and mitigate illegal-deforestation risks; responses are due by January 17, 2027.

## Why it matters

If introduced, the rules could add traceability and compliance requirements for soy, palm oil, and cattle supply chains serving Great Britain. The measures are still under consultation, so near-term price effects are likely limited.
