The European Parliament has adopted its position on the revision of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) in a simplified form compared to the text of the Directive adopted in 2024. The changes aim to reduce the administrative burden on companies and focus the rules on very large firms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The decision stipulates that the directive shall apply to companies with at least 5,000 employees and a turnover of at least \u20ac1.5 billion, which are much higher thresholds than those previously established. Furthermore, the obligation to develop a climate transition plan is removed from the approved text<\/strong>, on the grounds that it would overlap with other legislation and impose requirements considered excessive for the business environment.<\/p>\n

Amendments adopted by Parliament<\/h2>\n

The 2024 Directive established obligations for due diligence<\/em> <\/strong>for companies with over 1,000 employees and revenues exceeding \u20ac450 million.<\/strong> The version now adopted restricts the scope to a considerably smaller number of companies.<\/p>\n

The Parliament's communication emphasises that the aim is to focus responsibilities on the actors with the greatest impact in global supply chains. MEPs also took note of the rapporteur's argument: Implementation of the previous directive risks being too burdensome, particularly in the context of the economic slowdown in several Member States.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Impact on companies<\/h2>\n

For many organisations, particularly those in emerging economies, the decision reduces the immediate pressure to comply. If the threshold adopted today is retained in the final version, most European and non-European companies will not fall directly under the scope of the directive.<\/p>\n

However, the commercial requirements of partners in supply chains remain relevant. Formal obligations will apply to a small number of companies, but the supplier network will continue to be influenced by the requirements of large companies.<\/p>\n

Procedural stages<\/h2>\n

The text approved in plenary represents the Parliament's official mandate for negotiations with Member States. Trilateral discussions with the Council and the Commission will follow, during which the final form of the directive will be established.
\nParliament indicates that the intention is for the dossier to be closed by the end of 2025, although the timetable may depend on the position of Member States.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
