A rare @BHRRC blog piece from my side in which I take a closer look at #EU regulation related to finance and human rights as this is discussed at #PRIinPerson and Forum on #BizHumanRights this week. Thoughts and reactions welcome! https://t.co/vnekLeRooT
@heidevander @PRI_News @ShareAction @Aleks_Palinska@GinaGambetta @EliseAttal @heidevander @Aleks_Palinska great to see you'll both be there pushing the bar no doubt. Sorry to miss you both - only attending snippets virtually. Next time!
Much welcome statement by @PRI_News @Eurosif, IAHR and 142 signatories calling for a broadening of the scope of financial and non-financial biz covered by the #duediligence obligation rather than for #financesector to be taken out. https://t.co/F1Br7NzPso
Well put @Gabriellellell. An EU #CSDDD that confines #duediligence to the supply chain would be a step back and such a missed opportunity. Let's get it right. Negative impacts need addressing both up and down a company's value chain. @EU_Commission@larawoltersEU@ECCJorg
"By omitting the downstream, the #EU law would immediately lag behind the efforts of leading companies."
@Gabriellellell @HumanRightsDK on the need for *full* value chain coverage in the 🇪🇺 #CSDD directive ⬇️ https://t.co/oz3L7upr9I

The financial sector must not be let off the hook when it comes to respecting human rights & the planet ‼
@ShareAction together with partners calls on the #EU to include *meaningful* due diligence obligations for financial actors in the #CSDDD
The sustainable finance framework will be all the more effective as it is coherent & usable. Tomorrow the Platform on Sustainable finance is organising 2⃣ webinars to present its reports on
🌿 Data and Usability of the EU Taxonomy
🌿 Minimum Safeguards

A welcome emphasis on the need and demand for a #socialtaxonomy from the @EU_EESC . Despite of - or maybe because of - the multi-crises situation we find ourselves in, we need a holistic sustainable finance #EUtaxonomy.https://t.co/KxcdnLPl8P
Some useful points made by @PRI_News in relation to #CSDDD and financial sector. E.g. Remove the pre-service limitation on investor #HRDD, clarify that financial services include equity investments and expand the personal scope. @EU_Justice@ECCJorg @Gabriellellell
Kun Bangladesh har mere areal under plov end Danmark. Samtidig er vi det land i EU med suverænt mindst beskyttet natur. Landbruget vil frem mod 2030 står for mere end 40% af Danmarks CO2-udledning. Kan vi ikke gøre det - bare lidt - bedre? #dkgreen#dkpol

Businesses are responsible for extensive human rights abuses all over the world. Voluntary approaches are completely inadequate!
My new report, co-authored with Stephanie Keene, identifies key elements of laws that will require human rights and environmental due diligence.

The Business Enabling Environment Project is nothing but a rebranding of the discredited and ineffective Doing Business report and rankings.
