CSDDD

As stakeholders gear up for the next trilogue on the bloc's proposed due diligence directive, RI explores some of the key sticking points.

MEPs back inclusion of institutional investors and asset managers in the CSDDD.

European Parliament committee votes in favour of directive, which also sets out details on investor due diligence measures and director responsibilities on transition plans.

Leaked documents show right-wing MEPs are pushing to exempt all investment firms from the CSDDD.

Ministers call for inclusion of financial institutions to be up to member states, and for scope to only cover 'chain of activities'.

However, investors and NGOs praise progress in the Parliament.
