MEMBERS CONSULTATION: EUDR-Assurance System Crosswalk

GPSNR is conducting a 30 day members consultation from 14 November 2025 to 14 December 2025 on an EUDR-GPSNR Assurance System crosswalk. A reference document developed by Preferred by Nature (PBN), this crosswalk  maps the requirements of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) against the GPSNR Assurance System.

It aims to help GPSNR members understand how existing GPSNR requirements under the Assurance System align with, and can support compliance with, the EUDR. It identifies areas of overlap as well as potential gaps where additional measures may be needed to meet EUDR obligations.

GPSNR invites all members and stakeholders to review the crosswalk and share feedback to ensure it is accurate, practical, and useful for the industry.

GPSNR Company Self Assessment Form: Aligning Your Company’s Policy with the GPSNR Policy Framework

The Policy Framework was approved and adopted via a membership vote at the 2nd GPSNR General Assembly on 23 September. As part of the resolution, companies were given 6 months to align their public policies to include all the components of GPSNR’s Policy Framework, with the possibility of two extensions if evidence of progress is shown. Based on this timeline, companies will have until 23 March 2021 to submit their public policies for evaluation by GPSNR’s Compliance Panel. Full instructions on how companies should submit their public policies and other public documents will be provided in early 2021. 

The Self Assessment Form is a tool designed to help companies evaluate and track the degree of alignment between their public policies and other public documents and GPSNR’s Policy Framework. Conducting a self-assessment using this form does not constitute GPSNR approval of a company’s policies, and companies should avoid making public claims about approval of the policies before final assessment by GPSNR. Compliance with this requirement can only be confirmed by the GPSNR Compliance Panel and this will only be possible after member companies submit to GPSNR their policies or other public documents that reflect conformance with GPSNR’s Policy Framework in March 2021.

A summary timeline of the company policy approval process is depicted below:

Compliance Panel

In early 2021, the Policy Toolbox and Implementation Guidance Working Group will share the terms of reference for the three members of the Compliance Panel. GPSNR members will then be invited to nominate individuals to serve on the Compliance Panel. An Extra-ordinary General Assembly will be called in February 2021 for GPSNR members to vote on the candidates and three candidates will be voted to form the Compliance Panel. The panel will then assess the policies submitted by GPSNR member companies and determine if they are in compliance with GPSNR’s Policy Framework. More details on this will be shared with members once they are available.
