JAMES Cropper has teamed up with Osapiens to ensure compliance with the evolving requirements of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
With operations in more than 50 countries, James Cropper delivers paper and fibre-based solutions across a range of industries.
With a sharpened focus on responsible sourcing and regulatory alignment, the company revealed it is closely monitoring the EU Green Deal and responding to the intricate requirements of the EUDR.
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) introduces strict due diligence requirements on companies placing forest-based products on the EU market. With the release of its FAQ Version 4 earlier this year, the regulation now places even greater emphasis on detailed traceability, requiring precise geolocation data for multi-country sourcing and product-level information covering the last five years.
To navigate this, James Cropper has adopted the osapiens HUB for EUDR. This unified, cloud-based platform automates compliance processes, including geospatial data collection, legal and risk assessments, batch and composite product tracking, and the preparation and direct submission of Due Diligence Statements (DDS).
By reducing manual workload and ensuring audit-ready documentation, the solution is said to enable ‘reliable and scalable’ compliance.
“James Cropper is committed to actively shaping a better future, with a strong focus on people, sustainable manufacturing, and responsible business practices,” said Paul Barber, MD of James Cropper Paper & Packaging. “With osapiens, we’re taking a proactive step toward meeting complex regulatory requirements and further aligning our operations with our sustainability goals.”
