JOINT STATEMENT URGING THE STRENGTHENING OF SUSTAINABLE COMMODITY GOVERNANCE IN RESPONSE TO EUDR AND GLOBAL MARKET DEMANDS

A joint statement by 45 Indonesian civil society organizations urging the Indonesian government to strengthen commodity governance for timber, palm oil, cocoa, coffee, and rubber in response to the EU Deforestation-free Regulation (EUDR). While noting a proposed implementation delay by the European Commission to late 2025/2026, the coalition calls for the alignment of national schemes (ISPO, SVLK) with EUDR, the protection of Indigenous Peoples' rights via FPIC, and support for smallholders to ensure global competitiveness and meet the 2030 FOLU net sink target.

• The European Commission proposed a 12-month delay for the implementation of the EUDR, moving the deadline from 30 December 2024 to 30 December 2025 for large companies and 30 June 2026 for micro and small enterprises.
• The Indonesian Civil Society Coalition identifies five specific commodities affected by EUDR regulations: timber, palm oil, cocoa, coffee, and rubber.
• The coalition urges the Indonesian government to strengthen existing national sustainability and legality schemes, specifically the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) and the Timber Legality and Sustainability Verification System (SVLK), to align them with EUDR requirements.
• The statement calls for the protection of Indigenous Peoples' rights through the enforcement of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) and the inclusion of local communities in natural resource management.
• Improving commodity governance is presented as a means to achieve Indonesia's FOLU (Forest and Land Use) net sink target by 2030 by reducing deforestation and forest degradation.
