Accenture and osapiens collaborated with DS Smith to improve transparency in its supply chain regarding materials relevant to the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). This initiative aims to ensure compliance with the EUDR, which takes effect at the end of 2026. The project has enabled DS Smith to trace materials throughout its Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) supply chain, providing clear proof of material origins. The companies integrated previously separate systems into a single platform, the osapiens HUB, enhancing data management and supplier onboarding. Since implementation, over 25,000 supply chain workflows have been executed, and nearly 25,000 land plots monitored. The initiative addresses challenges posed by uncertain geopolitical regulatory requirements, as highlighted by Accenture's Matias Pollmann-Larsen. DS Smith's IT director noted the complexity of managing reliable data across numerous countries and facilities.
