Key Takeaways:

  • CSDDD: This directive focuses on corporate due diligence and accountability for human rights and environmental impacts across supply chains. Non-compliance can lead to significant penalties and damage to corporate reputation.
  • CSRD: This directive mandates comprehensive sustainability reporting, requiring organisations to disclose their environmental and social impacts. Ensuring accurate reporting is crucial to avoid legal repercussions and maintain stakeholder trust.
