After the European Commission published a proposal for a supply chain directive (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive) on February 23, 2022, the European Council of Ministers defined its negotiating position on the supply chain directive in December 2022 (“Draft CSDD”). On this basis, the final version of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive will be negotiated with the European Parliament this year.
