Thousands of EU business leaders express support for CSRD and CSDDD

A poll of more than 2,500 European business leaders shows widespread support for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), even as legislators continue to push for ‘simplification’.

On the topics of mandatory climate transition plans (initially included in CSDDD but now ferociously disputed) and mandatory sustainability reporting as part of CSRD, business leaders’ opinions directly contradict the proposals that are being negotiated as part of the Omnibus simplification package.
