Considering the momentum of the recently adopted EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D) – and its entry into force on July 25, 2024 –, ERCST proposes evaluating the final version of the CS3D building on its previous work: “The EU Corporate Sustainability Dure Diligence Directive and its Extraterritorial Effect: Promise and Pitfalls”.
This analysis considers not only earlier elements from the legislative process, namely the two negative opinions from the European Commission’s Regulatory Scrutiny Board, but also ERCST’s recommendations from its first report. Focus is given to the directive’s key elements, as well as unresolved issues, such as inconsistencies with other directives (like CSRD), company concerns about due diligence, extraterritoriality, liability risks, administrative burdens and impacts on non-EU businesses.
At this event, ERCST will launch and present a report, which will be followed by a discussion on the evaluation of CS3D.
