Samenvatting
This Commentary provides valuable guidance on navigating the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and its implementation within Member States. In-depth analysis from leading scholars highlights the relevance of the Directive to human rights and environmental due diligence legislation in the European Union and globally.
Key Features:
• Analyses the CSDDD article-by-article, including reflections on the Omnibus I proposal and public supervision
• Outlines comparisons with similar legislation from across the globe, as well as offering insights into their practical applications
• Explores measures to mitigate adverse impacts through contractual assurances and adjustments to purchasing practices
• Includes additional transversal chapters addressing core topics such as gender and children, transnational consequences in the Global South and corporate governance
Sustainable Business in Europe is an essential read for legal scholars and students in the fields of corporate, environmental and human rights law. It is also highly relevant to legal practitioners, consultants and public officials, particularly those within the European Commission developing relevant guidance.
