Frank Bold news

The European Commission is currently running an open public consultation on guidelines for the Corporate Sustainable Due Diligence legislation (CSDDD). Read our submission to the consultation.

A new legal briefing by Frank Bold unpacks the new restrictions on information requests to business suppliers following the Omnibus 1 revisions to the CSRD and CSDDD, and explains the practical implications for companies.

Due diligence under the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) is designed to direct finite corporate resources towards the issues that matter most for people and the environment. At the heart of that effort is prioritisation, defined in Article 9 of the Directive. Having spoken about this topic at the RBA conference this week, I want to share some reflections on what good prioritisation looks like in practice and what pitfalls to avoid.

A new joint publication by ClientEarth and Frank Bold sheds light on how the Omnibus I revision has reshaped the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) — and what this means for companies, regulators, and stakeholders across the EU.

Frank Bold’s research shows significant improvement in corporate disclosures largely due to the standardisation brought by the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. Companies are reporting ambitious climate targets and disclosing clearer, more comparable and meaningful sustainability information.
