What You Will Learn
Under CSDDD, companies will be required to identify and address potential and actual adverse human rights and environmental impacts across their own operations, subsidiaries, and value chain.
To do this, the Directive requires companies to follow six specific steps:
Policies and Management System
Integrating risk-based due diligence into corporate policies that outline an approach to due diligence and a code of conduct. Update these annually.
Risk Assessment
Identify actual and potential adverse human rights and environmental impacts arising from your operations, subsidiaries, and direct and indirect business relationships within your value chain.
Measures to Cease, Prevent, or Mitigate
Prevent or mitigate potential adverse impacts, and end or minimize real adverse impacts. Develop and implement a prevention action plan, seek contractual assurances from business partners, make necessary investments and, if required, terminate business relationships.
Complaints Procedure
Establish a complaint procedure to enable affected persons and organizations to submit complaints relating to real or potential adverse impacts.
Monitoring
Conduct regular assessments of the implementation and effectiveness of the due diligence measures, at least annually or after a significant change.
Documentation and Reporting
Companies in scope of the CSDR must communicate relevant due diligence information via their annual reports under the CSDR’s requirements. Companies not subject to the CSDR must publish an annual statement on their website.
