These country-specific guides have been developed by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) and the Book Chain Project (BCP) to support companies in strengthening their due diligence processes across paper supply chains.

Each guide provides an overview of key documentation that may be collected to demonstrate compliance with national legal requirements in high-risk sourcing countries (Argentina, Brazil, India, Malaysia, Mozambique and Thailand). In addition, the guides outline practical approaches to document verification, including how to assess the validity, relevance, and reliability of information, as well as how to cross-check evidence across multiple sources.

The Book Chain Project and its members are committed to enhanced due diligence and responsible sourcing, even if printed materials are no longer within the scope of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). These guides are made publicly available, in both English and local languages, to support ongoing efforts to improve supply chain transparency and reduce risks of deforestation and forest degradation.
