EUDR due diligence · coffee & cocoa
Your coffee clears. Your roasters keep buying. We handle EUDR.
You source coffee and cocoa, not satellite data. We run the due diligence the EUDR demands: cleaning the geolocation, telling shade-grown management apart from real clearing, weighing the risk, and filing your Due Diligence Statement as your EU-established Authorised Representative, so the filing work is under way well before it becomes a customs or buyer bottleneck.
Origins → your DDS, filed in the EU
EU-established Authorised Representative
Based in Denmark, inside the EU: the standing the regulation requires to file a DDS on an operator’s behalf.
Coffee & cocoa, exclusively
One regulation, two crops, done properly. Not a deforestation checkbox bolted onto a menu of services.
Official EU & open forest data
Every assessment is built on authoritative EU and open forest-monitoring sources, with the exact versions recorded in the result.
GFC2020 · Hansen · JRC TMFAnswered by a specialist
A person who reads coffee and cocoa supply chains replies to every inquiry, never a bot or a ticket queue.
The obligation
If you place it on the market first, the duty is yours.
Under the EU Deforestation Regulation, whoever first places non-EU coffee or cocoa on the EU market is the operator, the party responsible for filing a Due Diligence Statement for what they import. Not the downstream trader, who mostly passes references along. You.
That means collecting geolocation for every producer plot, checking each one for post-2020 conversion of forest to agriculture, and submitting it through the EU’s TRACES system, correctly, because one bad coordinate can hold a shipment. It is real, recurring work, and it lands on the smallest desks hardest. Are you an operator?
Tool, or team
Software flags a plot. It doesn’t answer the customs inquiry.
The EU gave you more time. Your buyers may not. Roasters and manufacturers already in scope are building EUDR-ready supply chains now, and asking the importers they buy from for a clean reference, well before your own deadline.
Software leaves the work with you
A dashboard gives you a login. You still chase suppliers for polygons and legal documents. You still decide whether a satellite flag on your shade-grown plot is real clearing or a pruned canopy. And when the container lands, you’re the one in the EUDR Information System, filing the statement by hand.
glebora carries it for you
You send the supply chain only you have. We build your due-diligence file, run the type-aware assessment that helps tell shade management from real clearing, weigh the risk, and file your DDS as your EU-established Authorised Representative, then hand you a defensible dossier. A regulatory bottleneck taken off your desk, not more software to work with.
The method
Done for you, from supply chain to filed statement.
You send coordinates and sign a mandate.
A short written mandate lets us act as your Authorised Representative, the EU-established party the regulation allows to file on your behalf. You send the plot locations; we take it from there.
We assess every plot.
A type-aware assessment that helps tell shade-grown agroforestry apart from genuine post-2020 conversion of forest to agriculture, the distinction a single map cannot make on its own; anything ambiguous goes to a person.
We file your DDS.
We prepare and submit the Due Diligence Statement in the EUDR Information System within TRACES, and retrieve the reference number the regulation requires, under your operator identity, never ours.
You receive a documented audit bundle.
The evidence, the assessment, and the reference: a self-contained record you can hand to an auditor or a customer, and keep for the years the regulation requires.
The whole obligation
EUDR due diligence is more than a satellite check.
The information, the deforestation assessment, the risk, the mitigation, and the filing: we carry all of it. You bring the supply chain only you have.
The hardest part is reading the forest correctly: telling genuine post-2020 conversion apart from the ordinary management of shade-grown coffee and cocoa. Here is how that read works.
How we read the evidence
Focused entirely on coffee and cocoa, the crops we know best.
What you receive
Not a report you have to interpret. A record you can file.
- Baseline
- 31 Dec 2020
- Datasets
- GFC2020 · Hansen v1.13 · TMF 2025
Plots assessed: 2
| Finding | Method / dataset | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Tree-cover loss, post-2020 | Hansen GFC 2025 v1.13 | 0.35 ha |
| Confirmed deforestation | JRC TMF vs 2020 baseline | 0.00 ha |
Held for human review. Loss is real, but JRC TMF confirms none of it is forest conversion, consistent with shade-tree management. Surfaced to a person, not auto-failed.
| Finding | Method / dataset | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Tree-cover loss, post-2020 | Hansen GFC 2025 v1.13 | 0.00 ha |
| Confirmed deforestation | JRC TMF vs 2020 baseline | 0.00 ha |
Pass. No post-2020 tree-cover loss on any source. Clears without human review.

Who it’s for
Built for the small, direct-trade importer.

Green-coffee importers bringing beans in from non-EU origins: what EUDR asks of you, and how we carry it.
For cocoa & chocolate importers →
Cocoa bean, butter and chocolate importers sourcing from West Africa and beyond.
Are you an operator? →
The two-minute question that decides your EUDR obligations: operator or trader.
Due diligence that stands on its evidence.
Every statement we file is backed by the full evidence behind it: a clear, documented account of what we checked and what we found, prepared by people who do this for a living and tested on real coffee and cocoa farms.
Under the EUDR the legal responsibility stays with you, the operator. Our job is to make the due diligence behind your declaration thorough, documented, and ready for any auditor who asks.

Tell us what you import, and where from.
Bring us your coffee or cocoa supply chain and we’ll show you exactly what the EUDR asks of you, and take the hardest part off your desk. Getting the geolocation and records in order is far easier done early than in a rush.
