Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive Enters Force
The Directive on corporate sustainability due diligence (Directive 2024/1760) officially entered into force on July 25, 2024. This landmark EU policy aims to foster sustainable and responsible corporate behavior by requiring companies to identify and address adverse impacts of their operations on human rights and the environment. Businesses will now need to integrate due diligence into their policies and management systems, affecting supply chains both inside and outside the EU. This move is crucial for a just transition towards a sustainable economy.
New EU directive makes companies responsible for human rights and environmental impacts in their supply chains.
