The European Parliament has set a new standard for corporate sustainability by finally approving the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D). This Directive is now ready to be transposed into national law throughout the EU and with this, is raising the bar for responsible operations globally.

These new rules introduce rigorous yet reasonable requirements for companies to identify impacts on people and the environment within their own operations and those of their subsidiaries’ value chains. While compliance involves effort, it also presents opportunity.

Does the CS3D apply to you? If your company:
- Is an EU-based business entity or a parent company of a branch operating in the EU; or
- Employs over 1,000 employees, on average; or
- Achieved more than €450 million in global net turnover last financial year;
it's time to adapt.

As finance and sustainability leaders, you have a unique opportunity to drive positive change. Engaging with CS3D is more than meeting a mandate; it's seizing an opportunity to drive business growth and reinforce your position as an industry forerunner.

Embark on your compliance journey now: revise policies, close gaps, assume responsibility, and collaborate with stakeholders. Prepare your business to be a leader in sustainability as the regulatory landscape continues to evolve.
