In this webinar we will understand the implications of the new CSDDD (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive) rules, recently approved by the European Parliament. To this end, we will explore the context behind the Directive, from its initial proposal in 2022 to its approval, highlighting the importance of corporate responsibility and mitigating impacts on human rights and the environment.

We will discuss the scope of the CSDDD, the need for risk-based due diligence and the Transition Plan to align business with the climate objectives of the Paris Agreement. We will also address control mechanisms, including civil liability and fines for non-compliant companies. We will highlight the steps of the compliance timeline.
