The aim of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) is to foster sustainable and responsible corporate behaviour in companies’ operations and across their global supply and value chains. It has entered into force in July 2024 and the EU Member States are working on the transposition of the Directive into national law. Companies throughout the EU will be obliged to ensure compliance with environmental and human rights standards in their supply and value chains. What will the new directive bring and how can companies prepare for it?
On 25 July 2024, the Directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence (CSDDD, Directive 2024/1760) entered into force.
The CSDDD will impose rigorous sustainability and human rights due diligence obligations on a broad scope of companies operating within the EU. The CSDDD is closely linked to the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). But while CSRD forces companies to talk about their risks, CSDDD is about doing. It requires companies to identify, prevent, and mitigate potential or actual adverse human rights and environmental impacts connected with their operations upstream and downstream. Companies have to publicly communicate on sustainability due diligence, establish a complaints procedure and can face far-reaching penalties. The CSDDD also provides access to grievance mechanisms and legal remedies by introducing a civil liability scheme with the right to full compensation and enables trade unions and NGOs to enforce those rights. The effects on companies in scope as well as SMEs will be relevant soon and affect procurement, quality & security, legal etc. Do you also wonder what the new directive will bring and how your company can prepare for it? Then join us and find answers to your questions!
