Peru, Ivory Coast and Ukraine business organisations call for EU CSDDD deal

Failure to agree an ambitious EU Corporate Sustainable Due Diligence Directive will lead to greater fragmentation of corporate accountability legislation, fail to protect lives and the environment, and make life harder for companies and investors

In today’s interconnected global economy, for the benefit of people, the planet and businesses, we should strive for sustainable international value chains. The EU Corporate Sustainable Due Diligence Directive is a crucial link in this pursuit since it calls for a shared responsibility along the entire value chain for the respect of human rights and the environment. Furthermore, it will prevent a patchwork of legislative initiatives in different EU member states.
