On May 24th, 2024, the EU Council gave its final green light to adopt the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD or CS3D) and introduced new obligations for companies regarding adverse impacts on human rights and the environment. Through the Directive, the EU levels the playing field for the sustainability due diligence of large companies - which will affect their business partners along the value chain.
