Subjects: Company law · Sustainable development

Rapporteur (the Member appointed to lead Parliament's work on this text): WOLTERS Lara (S&D)

Summary

The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence file is a proposed directive on companies' duty to identify and address adverse impacts; under the ordinary legislative procedure Parliament and the Council decide together and the result is binding EU law. It was handled by committees including Legal Affairs, Employment and Social Affairs and Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, under company law and sustainable development. The tabled amendments detail how companies prioritise identified adverse impacts, require measures to prevent or mitigate adverse human rights, labour rights and environmental impacts, prevention and mitigation action plans with timelines and indicators developed with affected stakeholders, contractual assurances from business partners, and targeted support for SMEs. It shares company law with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
