Many thanks to MEP Axel Voss of the EPP Group in the European Parliament for his partnership in the RBA-EPP event, “Over to Implementation: Decoding Due Diligence & Equipping Industry for #CSDDD Success," in Brussels, Belgium on September 4. We also greatly appreciated the insights of key speakers, including Allan Lerberg Jørgensen, Head of Centre for Responsible Business Conduct, OECD - OCDE; and Nils Behrndt, Deputy Director-General, European Commission DG Justice. Implementation of the new EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive rules to create meaningful impact on the ground will require action by many, including the #EU, to deliver enabling conditions for effective compliance and implementation, and ensure uniform approaches to applying and enforcing a risk-based approach to #SupplyChain #DueDiligence.
