IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE · THEBAULT GROUP

As of December 30, 2025, or June 30, 2026, for micro and small enterprises, all products listed in Annex I of the EUDR that are placed on the European market, distributed, or exported must be subject to Due Diligence and accompanied by a Due Diligence Statement.

GlossaRY

EUDR: The European Regulation against Deforestation and Forest Degradation aims to forbid the placing on the market or export from the European market of products that have contributed to deforestation or forest degradation.

Deforestation: designates the conversion of forests to agricultural use, whereas forest degradation is measured on the basis of various criteria relating to structural changes in forest cover.

Products concerned and mentioned in annex 1 of EUDR: cattle, wood, cocoa, soya, palm oil, coffee, rubber and certain of their derivative products such as leather, chocolate, tyres or furniture.

Due diligence:  this includes three main stages: collecting information, assessing the risk of illegal harvesting, and implementing risk mitigation measures.

Due Diligence Statement: Before any product is placed on the market, operators and distributors will have to fill in a statement in the TRACES information system, which in turn will centralize all these declarations. Operators will have to review their due diligence system at least on an annual basis.

TRACES: The European Commission’s online platform for the sanitary & phytosanitary certification of animal and plant imports. In practice, the platform is accessible in all EU languages, free of charge, 24/7 with an internet connection and an EU Login account.

Op initiatief van het ministerie van Economie en Financiën, via de Algemene Directie van de Ondernemingen (DGE), mobiliseert de “Week van de Industrie” sinds 2011 de verschillende industriële en institutionele spelers om de industrie en haar spelers te promoten door educatieve evenementen en de ontdekking van beroepen aan te bieden.

De industrieweek is een gelegenheid om :

• de aantrekkelijkheid van de industrie en haar beroepen te vergroten;
• jongeren bewust te maken van industriële banen en met name van de industrie van de toekomst;
• de mix van beroepen en de plaats van vrouwen in het bedrijfsleven te ondersteunen;
• het grote publiek te informeren over de aanwervingsbehoeften van de industrie;
• het imago van een moderne, innovatieve en ecologische industrie te promoten…

Dit jaar neemt de THEBAULT Groep deel aan dit grote evenement in zijn productievestigingen door de deuren van zijn fabrieken open te stellen voor leerlingen en studenten van scholen uit de dorpen waar de Groep gevestigd is. Zo zullen 90 leerlingen van lagere en middelbare scholen de hele week komen kennismaken met het schillen van zeedennen of populieren en het vervaardigen van triplexplaten.

In totaal staan er dit jaar bijna 3 500 evenementen op de website van de industrieweek, waaronder 77 in de houtindustrie.
