Corporate accountability & human rights.

Fueled by individual and collective care, arts & techno. Tweets my own. IT.

"It is easier to guess three winning lottery numbers than to find an ICT company required to respect the #duediligence obligations." 🧐

💡New report provides key recommendations and empirical data on tech groups' likability to fall within the #CSDDD.

[Open Society–Europe and Central Asia @OpenSocietyECA]

The EU is missing a golden opportunity to hold companies liable for human rights abuses & environmental damage in the ICT sector.

Our 🆕 report gives recommendations to bodies engaged in refining the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Proposal. #CSDDD https://t.co/0MDGdx1K84

🎉The Corporate Sustainability #DueDiligence Directive adopted by the @Europarl_EN today👏

#CSDDD is a significant step forward to combat #humanrights and environmental abuses in the European and EU-based global supply chains.

#Trialogue still to go, expectations still high

[European Coalition for Corporate Justice @ECCJorg]

Parliament just voted in favor of rules for businesses!🎉

Congratulations to @Larawolters for her tireless work to deliver a text that puts people & planet first.👏

📢Now @Europarl_EN must keep fighting for victims of corporate abuses & deliver access to justice in trialogue.

NEW: Proposed legislation governing the human rights and environmental obligations of businesses in the EU, known as the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, risks being undermined by exemptions and loopholes

[Mathieu Vervynckt @MVervynckt]

⚠️ Don't get it twisted: the OECD Guidelines have always called on companies to conduct downstream due diligence, using a risk-based approach.

🚨 In our new paper w/ @SOMO @ECCJorg @ECCHRBerlin & @OECDwatch we show how this can make a difference. #CSDDD

🔴 BREAKING: @EP_Environment just voted in favour of our planet!

This is a step forward from the proposals of @EU_Commission and @EUCouncil.

But not all civil society demands were met 👎

Well done @woelken on a cross-party majority 🙌

@EP_Legal must now fill in the gaps!

[WWF EU @WWFEU]

Financial institutions can stay ahead of the curve and protect the well-being of people and the environment by properly assessing and mitigating sustainability risks.

But this will only be possible if we include them in the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive.

[European Coalition for Corporate Justice @ECCJorg]

The good, the bad and the upcoming:

👏 EU ministers agreed on a general approach to #CorporateSustainability

👎 New loopholes added to allow many powerful companies to evade legal responsibility for wrongdoing

👉@Europarl_EN must set the bar higher

I leader UE stanno tentando di impedire alle imprese di distruggere il pianeta e le persone ma queste provano in tutti i modi a boicottarli.
Ricorda ai nostri leader per chi lavorano: priorità alle persone e al pianeta, non ai profitti!

Mandatory #duediligence laws need to be ambitious in order to effectively end corporate abuses on human rights and the environment.

And the #tech sector needs to lead the way, as it leads economies

📢 75+orgs are calling to strengthen #CSDDD ahead of tomorrow's #Council meeting

[Business and Human Rights Centre @BHRCmedia]

Yep, investors reckon mandatory EU due diligence measures need to be improved - huge opportunity for the EU to be bold on this one.

🔴 BREAKING: The @EU_Commission just unveiled its long-awaited proposal to #HoldBizAccountable!

It's the first EU initiative of its kind and that in itself is groundbreaking.

But it's also riddled with flaws and exemptions.

Our take on the announcement:
https://t.co/ZXvMtBLiRY

[Martina Matarazzo @Matamissile]

Huge step forward from the #corporate sector supporting a mandatory due diligence mechanism in the EU.

Great work @BHRRC !

[Martina Matarazzo @Matamissile]

Corporate accountability and due diligence for all companies are not an option but a must in the EU.

And these ingredients are core for getting the the final recipe right #duediligence

[European Coalition for Corporate Justice @ECCJorg]

To help @vonderleyen keep her promise next month...

we have identified the most important ingredients of a law on corporate due diligence and liability + what's already on the table around Europe

Let's dig in 👇
https://t.co/7vopeM1AfY

[European Coalition for Corporate Justice @ECCJorg]

EU Commission president @vonderleyen promised a “solid and well-balanced” proposal in 2021.

Last December, it was delayed. Again.

To help get the process back on track, we are publishing an *updated* model law, article-by-article.

No more excuses.

The Regulatory Scrutiny Board has questions to answer over its role in delaying the EU #duediligence proposal. Responsible business conduct is a matter of urgency. Together with @HeidiHautala @ManonAubryFr @PDurandOfficiel we are asking for clarity within 15 days.

New evidence on why EU agri-food supply chains are to be reformed. We need + respect for human rights, environmental sustainability and corporate accountability.

Mandatory due diligence legislation out when?

🐖 Spain's pork sector might be hailed as an economic miracle, but its financial & environmental sustainability raises serious questions.

Our NEW report illustrates how internal EU agri-food supply chains need cleaning up, both literally and figuratively. https://t.co/X20BjCV6xU
