  5. DEFRA – Consultation on implementing due diligence on forest risk commodities

The UK Government ran a public consultation on the implementation of due diligence on forest risk commodities provisions in the Environment Act 2021.

The consultation ran from 3 December 2021 to 11 March 2022 and received a total of 16,838 responses, of which 16,682 were received via two campaigns.

The UK is committed to taking action to tackle illegal deforestation in our supply chains. We will take into account consultation responses in developing the legislation and accompanying guidance, and publish the government’s approach to secondary legislation in due course.
