The Council of the EU has approved a law that will require some EU companies to audit their supply chains to avoid environmental damage and human rights abuses.
The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) was approved by the Council on Friday (15th March) after weeks of delay and renegotiation. Companies will have to identify, prevent and mitigate “adverse human rights and environmental impacts” in their own, their subsidiaries’ and their supplies’ operations.
