CSDDD: EU due diligence law’s fate hangs in the balance as Council heads for vote
The law appeared headed for easy approval, but conservative debates in Germany and Finland have since cast doubt on its future.
The fate of the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) will be decided today (February 9) in a European Council vote, but many worry the bill will fail without Germany and Finland’s support.
The EU Council and Parliament reached a provisional deal in December to make supply chain due diligence a legal obligation for companies operating in the EU. The law appeared headed for easy approval, but conservative debates in Germany and Finland have since cast doubt on its future.
