France and Germany are two large EU member states that already have regulations in place requiring companies to implement due diligence processes. Today, we know that the CSDDD Directive (the so-called due diligence directive, Directive on corporate sustainability due diligence) has been agreed upon in trilogues, and we expect its adoption by the Council and Parliament to be confirmed in the coming weeks. We can therefore begin to prepare for its implementation. It is therefore worth looking at the experiences of countries that have been implementing similar regulations for several years. The experiences of France and Germany will be the main focus of this conference.
Although January is already a busy period for annual reporting in most companies, it is worth finding a free moment to do so.
