80+ large companies, including HP, Cisco, Nokia, and H&M Group, show their support for EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive #CSDDD ahead of final Parliament vote, signaling a commitment to responsible business conduct! #EU

[Fair Trade Advocacy Office (FTAO) @FairTradeFTAO]

👉Today, at their Business & #HumanRights event, @TheProgressives debated what should happen after the #CSDDD is passed.

@hderengerve importantly highlighted the need to legislate against #UnfairTradingPractices in the #TextileSector 👕

[Fair Trade Advocacy Office (FTAO) @FairTradeFTAO]

The #CSDDD moves one step further towards the finishing line 🙌 Next stop plenary vote in the European Parliament on 24 April 🇪🇺

💭Swedwatch välkomnar att direktivet passerat en viktig slutinstans, men beklagar djupt den omfattade urvattning som den senaste tidens omförhandlingar resulterat i, och att Sverige avstod från att rösta. #CSDDD

📣The CSDDD has passed in COREPER. A compromise of a comrpomise of a compromise, with a lot of disapointments in then last minute. But still a law that has potential to fundamentally change the way European companies adress Human Rights impacts

[Fair Trade Advocacy Office (FTAO) @FairTradeFTAO]

📢 Today, COREPER endorsed the #EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. Despite many drawbacks in the past weeks, the diluted deal is better than none.

It brings us one step closer towards mandatory #HumanRights and Environmental #DueDiligence 🌎👫

@larawoltersEU And thank you Lara Wolters for the incredible leadership on this file!

[May Hylander @mayhylander]

It passed 📣

[Belgium in the EU @BelgiuminEU]

⛓️ In the EU, it matters how products are made!

Ambassadors just confirmed the Corporate sustainability due diligence directive (#CSDDD)!

💚 It fosters sustainable & responsible corporate behaviour, anchors human rights & environmental considerations for companies' operations.

Who else is busy frantically refreshing the Twitter page of the Belgian Presidency @EU2024BE ? 😇 #CSDDD

[Friends of the Earth Europe🌍 @foeeurope]

⏰Today! The @EUCouncil are scheduled to vote on the #CSDDD.

📜The EU has an obligation to defend human rights & the environment in line with @UN & @OECD principles.

@EUCouncil, say YES to the CSDDD!

Euractiv reports today on growing company pressure in support of the #CSDDD. But who exactly is calling for EU legislation to protect human rights and the environment? 🧵

[May Hylander @mayhylander]

So dissapointing that the EU member states did not endorce the deal that was already done in December. There is still two weeks left for it to be approved before the elections. Citizens, civil society, the UN, and progressive companies call loud for this 📣

[Fair Trade Advocacy Office (FTAO) @FairTradeFTAO]

Today's failure by #EU capitals to endorse the widely supported EU #DueDiligence law is a distressing setback for #CorporateAccountability and #HumanRights and environmental protection 🌍👫

[Initiative Lieferkettengesetz @LieferkettenG]

6⃣7⃣ Prozent der #FDP-Wähler*innen unterstützen ein 🇪🇺#Lieferkettengesetz, 6⃣3⃣ hoffen auf ein Machtwort von Scholz.

Hr. @Bundeskanzler wieso lassen Sie zu, dass die #FDP 🇩🇪 zum Gespött macht ⁉️

[Nele Meyer @NeleMeyerNM]

Coreper is expected to vote on the file today! Just a little reminder that Member States have an obligation to protect human rights from harm by corporates. #csddd

[European Coalition for Corporate Justice @ECCJorg]

Outrageous:
Just a minority of FDP voters are against the #CSDDD.

Not only that, 63% of FDP voters are asking Chancellor Scholz to use his powers to override the opposition of the FDP ministers.

Bara pinsamt Sverige

[Swedwatch @Swedwatch]

Enligt uppgifter i Bryssel är Sverige det enda land som planerar att rösta nej till det historiska EU- direktivet för företags ansvar för mänskliga rättigheter, miljö och klimat #CSDDD Vad säger det om Sverigebilden? @BuschEbba

[Catarina Vieira @catarinacv]

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Hey @OlafScholz I want human rights to be protected
And even the companies want it too!
