“Some EU Member States are still on the fence and uncertain about how to make due diligence manageable for companies. "Established business relationships" is a term that confuses the clear focus that a business needs to have on the severity in their value chains and using severity as the basis for principled prioritisation. The good news is that adopting a risk-based approach is the answer to making it manageable.”
