A new joint publication with Client Earth on the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive helps EU Members states prepare for a meaningful transposition, ahead of the European Commission's expected implementation guidelines for the Directive next year.
Today, we're publishing our updated legal analysis of the Directive, jointly produced with Client Earth, focusing on our recommendations for effective transposition, from civil liability obligations to empowering supervisory authorities.
The publication focuses on the environmental and climate-related scope and obligations of both the CSDDD and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), including their timelines for application, their due diligence obligations and climate transition plan requirement. The guidance also provides a clear picture of robust enforcement of the Directive, highlighting the critical role of administrative supervisory authorities, as well as civil liability and access to justice.
Following a public consultation closed this summer, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) is discussing in September the results of the input received on their draft proposals for climate and general sustainability standards.
We highly appreciate the ISSB commitment to transparency and due process, which is of critical importance for your mission to develop a global baseline of sustainability reporting standards.
At the end of March, we founded the Community Energy Union with the goal of creating a clean and safe future for the Czech Republic. In 2021, as Frank Bold, we held a series of online and offline workshops to identify weak spots and gain the support of a number of important stakeholders who are now members of our Union.
