Policy brief: Corporate Sustainable Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)

 
 

The EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) requires companies to identify and address adverse impacts on human rights and the environment. Only certain companies are directly required to implement due diligence systems. However, CSDDD covers impacts not only from companies’ own operations but also those of subsidiaries and business partners, including suppliers. This means that CSDDD has indirect implications for a broader range of companies

This note provides an overview of CSDDD, with a focus on the due diligence process and obligations. It also describes useful tools and considerations for companies working with botanical ingredients in establishing and implementing due diligence in line with CSDDD.
