With the adoption of the CSDDD, the European legislator introduced new and ambitious requirements for companies. Organizations are required to identify, assess, mitigate, and eliminate environmental and social risks related to their own operations and supply chains. The legislation builds upon existing frameworks, such as the UNGPs and OECD Guidelines.

The main challenge for companies is to gain a deep understanding of how their current practices align with European requirements and identify existing gaps. Only after this analysis can companies reshape internal policies, processes, and reporting practices to achieve full compliance with due diligence legislation.
