Corporate Sustainability Due diligence
As per European legislation, corporations based in Europe are bound to exercise due dilligence on their branches operating outside Europe as well as on their partners and suppliers located or operating outisde Europe. This extends to funders, banks and financial organisations funding operations / companies outside the European zone.

While it applied only to public companies, in 2023 the law is revised to address SME’s.
