An interactive session showcasing ITC’s digital tool for EUDR compliance, including a live demo and hands-on training on the Deforestation-Free Trade Gateway (DFTG).
The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the International Trade Centre (ITC) invite you to a special workshop introducing the Deforestation-Free Trade Gateway (DFTG), a free and open-access digital tool that helps actors across global value chains comply with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
The session will provide an overview of the role of sustainability standards in trade, highlight ITC’s innovative tools for smallholders and exporters, and include a step-by-step live demo of the DFTG platform. Participants will also engage in a guided hands-on training to create an account, enter geolocation data, and perform risk assessments — all essential for EUDR compliance and sustainable trade.
This workshop is ideal for SMEs, cooperatives, business support organisations, and companies operating in sectors affected by the EUDR (e.g., coffee, cocoa, palm oil, timber, soy, rubber, cattle).
