EUDR

Moelven and EUDR 

Moelven is committed to complying with the EU Deforestation Regulation 2023/1115 (EUDR), which comes into effect on 30 December 2025. To ensure that goods produced before the end of 2025 can be traded within the EU after 30 December 2025, it will be necessary to begin exchanging EUDR reference information well before the year-end. 

Requirements for our suppliers

Moelven requires all suppliers of product groups subject to the EUDR to:

• Comply with the requirements set out in the EUDR, including:
  • Products must be deforestation-free – i.e., they must not originate from land deforested after 31 December 2020.
  • Products must be produced in accordance with the applicable national legislation in the country of production.
  • Products must be covered by a due diligence statement confirming that these requirements have been met.
• Provide the necessary documentation, including geolocation data and/or EUDR reference information, as part of the delivery to Moelven – at a minimum, this information must be included at the delivery note level.

Deliveries to our customers

Moelven will ensure that the necessary EUDR reference and documentation – at least at delivery note level – accompanies all deliveries of EUDR-relevant products to our customers.

Moelven, together with several other players in the forestry and wood industry, is in the process of developing an IT solution for sharing EUDR information digitally. The work is proceeding according to the established project plan. The first version of the system will be completed in autumn 2025. The technical details required to start using the system will be published as soon as they are ready.

Moelven's EUDR reference number process: 

To ensure full EUDR compliance, we are developing our IT systems and processes and implementing the Moelven Raw Material System. Most of our raw materials originates for logging activities in Norway and Sweden. Work is ongoing in both countries to establish systems and workflows that will ensure that the required reference numbers and verification codes will be created and can be communicated to the buyers. As soon as reference numbers and verification codes are being sent through our supply chain, starting from the origin of the raw materials, we will be able to provide reference- and verification numbers to our customers. The rollout will be gradual, with full compliance in place by 30 December 2025.
