A Greenlight for the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)
In a significant development for corporate responsibility, the Council of the European Union approved the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive on the 24th of May 2024, marking the culmination of its adoption process. This directive mandates large corporations to address the adverse impacts of their activities on human rights and the environment, backed by stringent penalties for any failure to comply. Significantly, this holistic framework does not just target the primary companies but also ensures that accountability is fostered through their subsidiaries and business associates across the entire value chain.
