New software supports compliance with the EU Deforestation Regulation ahead of December 30, 2025
AI-enhanced platform engages hard-to-reach suppliers and ensures traceable, deforestation-free sourcing
Companies failing to comply risk EU market exclusion and fines of up to 4% of European revenue
Assent Inc. has introduced a new EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) solution aimed at helping manufacturers meet the bloc’s looming compliance deadline. The regulation, which takes effect December 30, 2025, requires companies to prove that products entering the EU are deforestation-free, legally produced, and traceable to their land of origin.
For large and medium-sized firms, due diligence statements will be mandatory by the deadline. Without compliance, manufacturers risk losing access to the EU market and could face fines of up to 4% of their European revenues.
Assent’s platform combines AI-driven technology with regulatory expertise to simplify the process for companies navigating multi-tier, global supply chains. The software enables manufacturers to assess exposure, engage suppliers in multiple languages, and collect the verified data necessary for due diligence reporting. The system also supports audit readiness and proactive risk management, fully integrated within the broader Assent platform.

“Assent is uniquely positioned to solve the scale and complexity challenges of EUDR compliance with our purpose-built software for manufacturers sourcing complex assemblies with indirect commodity risk,” said Catherine Cormier, Chief Product Officer at Assent. “Our EUDR software builds on Assent’s core strengths, including advanced technology like AI, a proven supplier engagement model, and deep regulatory expertise. With this product launch, we are continuing to help manufacturers reduce operational risk and build stronger, more transparent supply chains that stand up to regulatory and partner scrutiny.”
The rollout of the EUDR solution underscores the mounting pressure on manufacturers to demonstrate sustainable sourcing practices in line with the EU’s deforestation-free trade ambitions.
