Does your Polish operation import, export, manufacture or trade products covered by the EU Deforestation Regulation? Crowe supports companies with EUDR implementation in Poland - from supply chain mapping and due diligence procedures to TRACES and due diligence statements.
We can support the entire EUDR implementation process or take responsibility for selected compliance activities.
EUDR applies to specified commodities and products associated with cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood.
For international groups, compliance may require coordination between the Polish entity, suppliers and group functions such as Procurement, Supply Chain, Legal, Compliance and Sustainability. Businesses need processes for obtaining the required information, assessing and mitigating risk and handling due diligence statements.
The main EUDR requirements apply to large and medium operators from 30 December 2026. For certain micro and small operators, the application date is 30 June 2027.

EUDR implementation requires businesses to connect regulatory requirements with supplier management, data and supply chain processes. For international groups, this may also mean establishing a clear division of responsibilities between the Polish operation and headquarters.
Crowe Poland also supports companies with broader ESG and sustainability advisory services, including value chain, sustainability processes and documentation.

EUDR is the EU regulation governing the placing and making available on the EU market and export of specified commodities and products associated with deforestation and forest degradation. It covers products listed in the Regulation that are associated with cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood.
EUDR applies to operators and traders dealing with products within the scope of the Regulation, with specific obligations depending on the company's role and status. An international group should therefore first determine whether its products and Polish operations fall within the EUDR scope.
The main EUDR requirements apply to large and medium operators from 30 December 2026. Certain micro and small operators have an application date of 30 June 2027, while specific rules apply to micro and small operators previously covered by the EU Timber Regulation.
EUDR due diligence involves collecting the required information, assessing risk and, where necessary, implementing risk mitigation measures. Companies therefore need an operational process that enables the relevant compliance assessment before carrying out activities covered by the Regulation.
A due diligence statement is submitted through the EUDR Information System as part of the compliance process established by the Regulation. Preparing it requires the company to have the necessary information and to complete the relevant risk assessment beforehand.
Where the company's EUDR obligations require use of the EUDR Information System, appropriate access to the system operating through the TRACES platform needs to be arranged. Crowe can support registration and help prepare the Polish operation for the process.
Yes. Crowe's support can cover full EUDR implementation or selected activities, including TRACES, supplier and supply chain risk assessment, due diligence statements and support during inspections. Crowe may act as an authorized EUDR representative and manage all EUDR obligations.
Start by determining whether EUDR applies to your products and Polish operations. The next steps can include mapping the supply chain and available data, identifying gaps, assessing existing processes and establishing the due diligence and TRACES processes required for ongoing compliance.
Whether you need to determine how EUDR applies to your Polish operations or require support with implementation and ongoing compliance, Crowe can help with supply chain mapping, due diligence procedures, TRACES, risk assessment, statements and inspections.
