Navigating a Changing Regulatory Landscape
The regulatory environment for agriculture is evolving rapidly. Laws such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and emerging Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) frameworks are raising expectations for traceability, transparency, and accountability across global supply chains.
For both companies and producers, this means ensuring compliance is not only about meeting legal requirements but also about maintaining market access, protecting reputation, and strengthening resilience.
4C provides tailored compliance solutions that combine certification, Add-Ons, innovative technology, and training. These services prepare producers, traders, roasters, and retailers alike to navigate regulatory change and demonstrate sustainability leadership.
Our Focus Areas
EU Deforestation Regulation
Ensure compliance with EUDR’s deforestation-free requirements.
The EU Deforestation Regulation requires companies to prove that their products are deforestation-free and legally produced. 4C supports system users with a comprehensive EUDR solution that includes traceability via the 4C Portal, remote sensing technology through our partnership with GRAS, and a complete due diligence system to help companies meet these new requirements.
Human Rights Due Diligence
Implement policies and practices to identify, prevent, and address human rights risks.
Human rights compliance is becoming a core expectation across global supply chains. With the Food Security Add-On and enhanced auditing approaches, 4C helps companies implement effective HRDD, addressing key risks such as labour rights, food security, and working conditions. This ensures alignment with international frameworks and emerging regulations.
German Supply Chain Act
Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz – LkSG
The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz – LkSG) requires companies to identify, prevent, and address risks related to human rights and environmental standards in their global supply chains. 4C provides a credible and practical tool to support companies in meeting LkSG requirements.
