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.
In December Frank Bold team co-organised a meeting of NGOs and representatives of the Member States of the European Union. The all-day meeting in Brussels was prepared in cooperation with our colleagues from European Environmental Bureau and Client Earth.
