SUMMARY:Due diligence in the supply chain: new proposed EU directive on c
 orporate sustainability due diligence
DESCRIPTION:In February 2022 the European Commission adopted a proposal f
 or a directive on corporate sustainability due diligence. By Summer 2023
  the parliament is expected to take position and by the time the Annual 
 Conference takes place a final text may be already underway. Some countr
 ies have already adopted rules on this delicate topic\, such as Germany 
 with the Supply Chain Act. The directive will aim at fostering sustainab
 le and responsible corporate behavior and bringing forward environmental
  goals and care for human rights in the everyday business conduct of com
 panies. Specific obligations will be set out so that specific risks of h
 uman rights abuse and non-sustainable conducts are minimized. The new ru
 les will have an impact also on companies based outside the EU wishing t
 o export goods within the union\, as well in groups of companies. The fo
 cus of the directive is to move from what companies say to what companie
 s actually do about ESG. Panelists will discuss the proposed directive a
 nd the impact on companies and adjudgments needed.
