The engagement of our team in developing the EU legal framework for corporate responsibility, transparency and accountability is based on drawing the necessary knowledge from experts, as well as establishing constructive dialogue with multiple actors representing varied perspectives. I believe this approach to work is key to building a resilient path towards systemic change.

On 23 February 2022, the European Commission released its proposal for a directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence. This directive could represent a landmark step forward in minimising the negative impacts of businesses on workers, communities and the environment worldwide. In response, over 220 NGOs and trade unions from around the world welcome the proposal as an essential and long-awaited step toward corporate accountability, responsible business conduct and access to justice.
