EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive

This IEMA webinar outlined EU proposals for a Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence directive and considered the potential implications for businesses registered or generating significant turnover in the EU. The proposed Directive is intended to improve corporate governance practices to better integrate risk management and mitigation processes of human rights and environmental risks and impacts, including those stemming from value chains, into corporate strategies and will have far-reaching effects. The webinar was led by Simon Colvin FIEMA, a Partner at Weightmans where he leads the environmental law team and heads the firm's energy and utilities sector.
