CSDDD

The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) represents a significant advancement in mandating responsible business conduct within and outside the European Union (EU). This guide, developed by a coalition of civil society organisations (CSOs), aims to assist other CSOs in supporting the transposition and implementation of the CSDDD across European Union (EU) Member States, ensuring that the Directive's objectives are met ambitiously and effectively.

The EU made new rules to force large companies to police their global value chains for environmental and human rights risks. Oxfam is advocating for these rules to must make companies accountable for the damage they cause people and the planet.  

On Thursday, 1 June, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) will vote on the EU’s new rules to make companies accountable for the damage they cause to people and the planet: the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). If the European Parliament fails to vote in favour of ambitious amendments, the final text risks being a far cry from what is needed.
