Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive

About this event:

The European Commission (EC) issued the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D) to trigger a behavioural change and hold businesses accountable for the impacts of their operations on environment and human rights.

As the EU institutions are entering the trilogues on the CS3D, this event will bring together speakers representing the European Parliament, EC, investors, business and civil society to debate key issues and hear their priorities for the negotiations.

Event organised by the Sustainable, long-term investments & competitive European industry intergroup in partnership with Accountancy Europe, the European Sustainable Investment Forum (Eurosif), Frank Bold, ShareAction and the World Benchmarking Alliance. These organisations are members of the informal group of stakeholders with interest in the sustainable finance agenda. The group is used as a platform for collaboration and coordination.
