Based on internationally accepted standards on Responsible Business Conduct, the EU has developed legislation over the past years. The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) is set to level the playing field in the internal market in this regard.
The final compromise is widely supported by large companies, SMEs, civil society organizations, trade unions and other stakeholders across Europe.
This compilation of statements on the CSDDD is presented by the Dutch multistakeholder-coalition IDVO (Initiative for Sustainable and Responsible Business Conduct), a coalition of over 150 businesses of all sizes, academics, religious organizations, trade unions and civil society organizations.
