Collaborative approaches to EUDR compliance in the Brazilian soy sector
On April 22, the webinar “Brazilian Soy and the European Union – Best Practices and Dialogue for Collaborative Solutions” brought together more than 150 participants, including experts and representatives from key organizations engaged in discussions on compliance with the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) in the Brazilian soy sector.
The webinar was an initiative of the Transparency and Compliance Working Group of the Sustainable Soy Alliance (in Portuguese, Aliança da Soja Sustentável), whose objective is to coordinate and drive actions to promote sustainability in the soy supply chain in the MATOPIBA region in Brazil.
Moderated by Heleen Van Den Hombergh from the Collaborative Soy Initiative, the session featured the following guest speakers:
