""While some battles have been won, this year's Forest 500 data shows that the fight against deforestation is still being needlessly lost. The year 2025 was at the heart of high-profile corporate targets to end deforestation - but these have now been missed. As in previous years, too few companies are acting with enough urgency.""
""The EUDR itself is described as arriving in a delayed and diluted form after the EU postponed application to Dec. 30, 2026, for large and medium operators and traders, and to June 30, 2027, for micro and small operators.""
The 2026 Forest 500 report reveals the coffee industry is among the weakest performers regarding deforestation risk. While the EU Deforestation Regulation has influenced corporate behavior in Europe, only 14% of the assessed companies acknowledged it in their public documents. The report indicates that many corporate targets to end deforestation by 2025 have been missed, and too few companies are acting with urgency. The EUDR's delayed implementation further complicates efforts to prevent deforestation in European supply chains.
