CSDDD: Disputed due diligence law approved in EU Parliament
Today's vote ends months of uncertainty about the future of supply chain due diligence in the EU.
The European Parliament has just passed the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), a disputed law that will see more than 5,000 of Europeâs largest companies become liable for environmental and human rights violations in their supply chains.
Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) voted to pass the law today (April 24), with 374 votes in favour and 235 against and 19 abstentions. The current plenary session, ending tomorrow, was the last opportunity for them to approve the text before Juneâs elections.
