+160 organisations urge decisionmakers to say NO to Omnibus law

On 8 November 2024, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced she would introduce a proposal to amend three key pillars of the European Green Deal through an Omnibus law: the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and the Taxonomy Regulation.

This law could essentially act as a trojan horse for companies to get important climate and human rights provisions scrapped out of the CSDDD and CSRD regulations.

Today, 160+ members of civil society, human rights and environmental defenders, trade unions and climate activists, call on the European Commission to actively protect these EU corporate accountability laws, reafirm the oficial timeline for their transposition and implementation, and be fully transparent about the Omnibus process.
