CSDDD advice
Preparing for the new law
In April 2024, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) was passed by the European Parliament. Also referred to as the anti-evilment law, it requires large companies to investigate wrongdoing in their value chain and take appropriate action to prevent, mitigate and, if necessary, remedy negative impacts.
With CSDDD consulting, we help your company find the right focus and prepare for the new obligations and indirect consequences of the law.
Integrate Due Diligence into your organization with Empact
Central to the CSDD is the concept of due diligence – or due diligence. This concept is based on the OECD guidelines. Simply put, it means that as a company you are obliged to conduct proper investigations into possible abuses in areas such as working conditions, environmental pollution and child labor. The CSDDD sets out the requirements for this investigation and what a company must do to prevent and address abuses.
To be ready for this as an organization, due diligence must be integrated into policies, business processes and risk management systems. Empact supports you in this. We have extensive experience in implementing similar OECD guidelines in a wide range of organizations. We always see ourselves as your guide: our consultants support and enable you to make a real impact. In this way, we make ourselves superfluous in the long run.
