Clifford Chance

On 23 February, the European Commission published its long-awaited proposal for mHREDD legislation – the Corporate Sustainable Due Diligence (CSDD) directive. If adopted, the proposal would require large companies to carry out due diligence to identify and address adverse human rights and environmental impacts of their operations, subsidiaries and value chains, and to produce climate plans.

At this webinar, our top ESG and environmental experts from across the Clifford Chance network gave an overview of the CSDD directive, discussed who is impacted, and focused on the challenges of extending value chain due diligence into the environmental domain and the risks for business.
