IPD e-Learnings on EU Sustainable Supply Chain Regulations
EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)
Deforestation drives climate change and biodiversity loss. The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) aims to ensure that key products like palm oil, soy, wood, cocoa, coffee, cattle, and rubber placed on the EU market are deforestation-free and legally produced.
Our 20-minute e-learning course gives you a solid introduction to the EUDR and its implications for supply chains.
- Understand the goals and scope of the EUDR
- Discover which products and commodities are affected
- Explore the core requirements, including due diligence and legality
- Learn how the regulation affects your company and how to prepare for compliance
The course is available in Englich, French and Spanish. Upon completion, you’ll receive a downloadable infographic with key insights and preparation tips.
* Please note that the EUDR implementation timeline has been amended. For simplicity, this e-learning has not been revised. The only change concerns the application dates: 30 December 2026 for large and medium enterprises, and 30 June 2027 for micro and small enterprises. All other content remains valid.
German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (SCDDA)
The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act sets binding requirements on human rights and environmental standards in supply chains. While it applies directly to large German companies, it also affects their global suppliers and service providers.
This free, 20-minute e-learning helps you understand the Act’s scope, core requirements, and practical implications. You’ll learn:
- Who is affected and what’s expected
- Key human rights and environmental topics covered
- What German companies will require from their suppliers

The course is available in Englich, French and Spanish. After completing the course, you’ll receive a downloadable infographic with key takeaways and preparation tips.
