Wednesday 23. April at 12:00 - 15:00 CET

Online

The EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) introduces new legal obligations for businesses to assess and address human rights and environmental risks within their supply chains. This seminar will provide a clear breakdown of who must comply, what the law requires, and how businesses should prepare for enforcement. Participants will gain a solid understanding of the directive’s scope, phased implementation timeline, and the consequences of non-compliance, including financial penalties and reputational risks.

Beyond understanding the legal framework, this session will focus on how businesses can identify, monitor, and mitigate risks in their supply chains. We will explore best practices for assessing suppliers, implementing due diligence policies, and leveraging technology to ensure compliance. Case studies from high-risk industries will highlight the challenges companies face in aligning with the directive and how they have successfully addressed them.

For businesses looking to streamline their compliance efforts, we will introduce tools and frameworks that simplify due diligence processes. From AI-driven risk assessments to blockchain-powered transparency solutions, participants will learn how to embed sustainability into their operations efficiently. The seminar will also address how SMEs can comply when working with larger corporations, ensuring they meet due diligence expectations while maintaining business growth. By the end of this session, participants will have a clear roadmap for meeting EU due diligence requirements and strengthening responsible business practices.
