The EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) will impose mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence requirements on companies in scope. The directive got final political approval in May 2024 and will be implemented through a “staged approach” to gradually cover all EU companies and parent firms with more than 1,000 employees and €450 million in turnover. Financial institutions will only be required to conduct due diligence on their own operations.
