🎉 Happy #EuropeDay!

🇪🇺 Brexit has been a disaster for our country and the Green Party is committed to repairing our relationship with the EU.

💚 We would rejoin the customs union, bring back freedom of movement and rejoin the EU when the time is right.

Delighted by the resounding majority in favour of corporate Due Diligence in the @EP_Legal vote ! This is a huge step towards a European law that will make clear that doing business in the 21st century means doing business responsibly.

Next step ➡️ Plenary on 1 June

[Lara Wolters @larawoltersEU]

Last night we reached a deal in @EP_Legal on the due diligence directive. This is a huge step forward to a European law that will make companies conduct business responsibly. But what is in the deal? 🧵

The Home Secretary, on the face of this Bill, invites Parliament to rip up international law. The only act of a Parliament that has any kind of moral integrity is to rip up her illegal & immoral Bill, which has no place on our statute book. #StopTheBill #RefugeeBanBill @JCWI_UK

Provisional deal on #CBAM!

CDP's @MirjamWolfrum speaks on the positive EU Parliament vote on the CSRD text. This confirmation of the EU’s ambitions on corporate reporting standards in Europe is testimony to CDP. It shows that companies must report how environmental issues impact them and the environment.

"New coal power projects are becoming “effectively uninsurable” outside China because so many insurance companies have ruled out support for them"

📣If you can insure it, you can't build it.

Next up are oil and gas projects particularly any new exploration 🔥
