Schedule 17: Use of forest risk commodities in commercial activity Part 1: Requirements Due diligence system
Paragraph 3 requires that regulated persons who use forest risk commodities in their UK commercial activities, or products derived from them, must set up and implement a due diligence system for the regulated commodities they use.
	Sub-paragraph (2) outlines the three components this due diligence system must include, which are:
identifying and obtaining information about the regulated commodity;
assessing the risk that the commodity was sourced from land that was illegally occupied or used; and
mitigating the risk.
	Sub-paragraph (3) allows the Secretary of State to make regulations containing further details on the due diligence system outlined in sub-paragraph (2)(a) to (c). This includes:
information that should be obtained;
the criteria for assessing the risk; and
ways to mitigate risks.
