Digital Traceability for Deforestation-Free Supply Chains: The Evonik Case

How Evonik leverages MARCO Track & Trace to automate EUDR compliance, strengthen supplier collaboration, and ensure transparency at scale.
Evonik is one of the world’s largest specialty chemicals companies with a presence in over 100 countries, serving customers worldwide.

Oil & gas operators face growing regulatory and commercial pressure

Compliance

As global standards such as OGMP 2.0, CBAM, and new domestic reporting rules raise the bar on emissions accountability, operators face growing pressure to deliver proof of performance.

Market Access

Verified emissions data is now the foundation for compliance, global market access, and future revenue in LNG and renewable fuels.

Financial Risk

Reliance on estimates increases exposure to fines, reputational damage, and lost opportunities in LNG and premium fuel markets.

EUDR forces chemical companies to prove palm oil is deforestation-free, but poor supplier data, siloed systems, and limited visibility put compliance and reputation at risk. Without automation and integration, generating Due Diligence Statements becomes a manual, error-prone process; slowing operations and increasing exposure to regulatory penalties.
Evonik set out to streamline EUDR compliance by adopting a digital traceability system with end-to-end visibility across its palm oil supply chain. It needed a solution to automate DDS collection from suppliers, verify geolocation-based deforestation risk, integrate with internal systems, trace production processes, and submit its own DDS. With MARCO Track & Trace, Evonik aimed to move from reactive compliance to a proactive, auditable approach that supports both efficiency and long-term sustainability.
