Fruit Attraction 23 – The European Directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)
Tuesday, 3 October 15:00 – 15:30 CET
This discussion provided valuable insights into the forthcoming European Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), which was approved by the European Parliament in June 2023. This bill will soon require large companies to outline due diligence procedures aimed at identifying potential adverse effects (e.g. human rights violations, work exploitation, environmental issues) within their supply chain, mitigating them, and following established steps, as laid down by the OECD. The two panelists discussed the main disclosure requirements, expected commitments, and sustainability reporting standards that industry actors will need to adhere to in order to align with the new EU directive.
