Hames Chocolates EUDR Statement

   
                                     

EUDR Statement

The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is a ground-breaking legislative framework aimed at reducing deforestation and forest degradation linked to the production of specific commodities, including cocoa, soya and palm. These are key ingredients widely used in chocolate production. EUDR is designed to ensure that products entering the EU market do not contribute to the deforestation of the world’s precious forests, which play a critical role in mitigating climate change and preserving biodiversity.

Hames Chocolates are committed to sustainable sourcing and welcome the introduction of EUDR. As an SME our deadline to be compliant with EUDR is 30th June 2025. Our supply chain expects to be ready for EUDR by the end of December 2024. There will be a transition period extending into 2025 of raw materials to ensure there is no disruption to production. 

Shipments destined for the EU market from January 2025.
If any of our customers are shipping products into the EU and require EUDR compliant verification you must notify us prior to placing an order to ensure all documentations and verifications are in place. During the transition period this may have an impact on lead times.

All shipments
Mapping and documentation will not be automatically supplied unless requested prior to placing an order. 

Our EUDR statement will be updated during 2025 as further information becomes available. Meanwhile further information about EUDR can be found here.
