ℹ️ Statement by the Presidency on the planned endorsement of the final compromise text on the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (#CSDDD) ⤵️
After a 2.5-year-long update process, @OECD guidelines have been finally revised.🎊 We have long advocated for this & engaged extensively with the OECD throughout its formal negotiation process. Curious how we did that? Have a look at our activity log 👉 bityl.co/JBy8
We successfully held a policy round table today in Paris with our esteemed partners & policymakers. In the context of emerging #hrdd legislation, it was great to hear from experts on how #SLCP can further develop as a ‘facilitation initiative’ for #duediligence implementation.
Great to further understand how SMEs are using the Data Collection tool given they made up 49% of users in 2021!

Find @slconvergence response to the proposed EU due diligence Directive here. This is a big step in human rights policy globally, but one that can be strengthened through more clarity and incorporating existing HRDD frameworks.

Excellent to see in amongst a big day for #humanrights - that @vonderleyen stands by her commitment to ban imports made from forced labour into the EU. Looking forward to seeing the legislation aligned with todays #duedilligence proposal.

Outraged at the political games being played in Council today on due diligence. Flagrant disregard for the European Parliament. Member States need to get their act together because time is running out. Press conference at 4pm. multimedia.europarl.europa.eu/en/webstreamin…

Honored to lead the @EumatrixEu list of most influential MEPs on information & communication policies together with my @EPPGroup colleagues @FZarzalejos and @Andreas_Schwab 🤝🇪🇺 I hope to continue my work in the next mandate with a focus on #AI, #GDPR and #copyright issues.

Watching @larawoltersEU with my team at the Geneva Center for Business and Human Rights @unige_en - #CSDDD “a breakthrough that redefines the role of business in society” #BizHumanRights is no longer just nice to have.
👇 Political agreement in #duediligence trilogue reached this morning. (Yes, much more work to be done) (No, I haven’t slept)
Yes, a provisional agreement was reached this morning and yes, there are major wins for the @EPPGroup - but a lot of misinformation is already spreading on the content. Major work still to be done on technical level as not everything is closed. Some points are clear 🧵
White smoke after 16+ hours of negotiations. We have a deal on EU-wide #duediligence legislation! A big step towards putting people before profits - and to making responsible business the norm.
Just released: Our recommendations on aligning the #EUCSDDD proposals and the updated @OECD Guidelines How do the @europarl, @EUCouncil and @EU_Commission proposals diverge from and align with the new Guidelines? Learn more in our report 👇oecdwatch.org/achieving-alig…
