EUDR Compliance Collective (ECC)
Audit-ready EUDR compliance for risk assessment and mitigation with zero effort
The risks
There are 1,400+ deforestation and 350+ legal cases currently linked to EU supply chains
Most EU operators are unaware that these cases are in their supply chain or could be in the future.
- Certifications
- Certifications such as RSPO are not sufficient for EUDR risk mitigation (e.g. mass balance is not traceable to the plot)
- Challenging mitigation
- Mitigating risks is challenging for individual companies, particularly with smaller volumes.
- Expertise needed
- EUDR service providers charge high prices with little palm oil industry expertise.
- Future risk
- Plots submitted for Article 9 DDS are not checked for leakage and future risks.
EUDR risk assessment & mitigation that works
Full service EUDR risk assessment and mitigation by industry experts
Collaborative
Collaborative risk management
As most EU operators share 80% or more of their supply chain, ECC eliminates duplication of efforts by conducting risks assessments and mitigation on behalf of members. It also makes our cost affordable.
Efficient
Risk mitigation with zero effort
We conduct risk mitigation based on the collective supply chain of our members. Members don't need to collaborate or share data. This creates an efficient path to audit readiness, with little to no effort by our members.
Traceability
Plot locations not needed
We can trace and analyze risks within thousands of plots to member supply chain using our proprietary plot to mill traceability model that covers globe.
Database
Industry-leading risk database
We have documented thousands of EUDR deforestation and legal cases in our unparalleled risk database.
Expertise
We are palm risk experts
We have been conducting risk assessments and mitigation in palm oil since 2016. Our team comprises industry professionals with representatives in Indonesia, the EU, and North America.
We find and mitigate EUDR risks for you
ECC Member Services

- Country, Regional, and Supplier Risk Assessments (Article 10)
- ECC members will receive comprehensive and regularly updated reports featuring deforestation, legal issues, indigenous peoples, and complexity risk tied for their complete supply chain.

- A private case tracker manages high risk deforestation, legal, and complexity cases. We submit detailed case reports on behalf of members to suppliers for comment and monitoring actions taken.
- Reporting and Record Keeping (Article 12)
- We track mitigation progress, provide annual reporting, and provide archives of all the records, so our members are covered.
Mitigate risks faster
Beyond plots - How to mitigate high risks to negligible risks
Identify legal and indigenous peoples risks
We track government legal actions, conflicts with indigenous peoples, protected area encroachment, and human rights violations. We ensure these issues are being addressed by your suppliers
Navigate complex supply chains
We monitor the risk that your plots are incomplete, incorrect, or out of date. We use our proprietary traceability model to predict when non-compliant areas may enter your supply chain, and work with suppliers to gather more information.
Track smallholder risk
We track smallholder development within jurisdictions and help members identify opportunities for smallholder engagement.
Act before conversion occurs
EUDR deforestation requires conversion to planted oil palm. We identify cases early and work with suppliers to prevent non-compliant areas from entering the supply chain, and monitor areas for successful mitigation.
With strict requirements on due diligence approaches, ECC is the missing cornerstone for companies who need to be EUDR compliant and audit-ready.
