(Wednesday 28th February) During today’s COREPER meeting, EU Ambassadors did not give their approval to the passage of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD).
Commenting on the outcome, Isabella Ritter, EU Policy Officer at ShareAction, said: “It is disappointing that yet again EU member states have failed to give the green light to legislation that would ensure business is better aligned with the needs of society and the environment. Every minute of delay increases the risk to workers’ lives and threatens fragile ecosystems. ”
