Proposal of the Directive on due dilligence for sustainable business

Summary/Abstract: In the last few decades, the connection between respect for human rights, environmental protection and climate change has been increasingly linked to business operations. The concept of sustainable business, which has become recognizable at the global level, is in a constant process of development. Sustainable business is fully aligned with the goals and principles of the EU (EU). The paper analyzes the Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and the Council on due diligence for sustainable business. When the Directive is adopted, member states will have the obligation to ensure such conditions that companies operating in the internal market regularly contribute to sustainable development by preventing and mitigating potential or actual negative consequences on human rights and the environment. The Directive will create legal certainty at the EU level and improve access to legal remedies for persons affected by the negative consequences of corporate actions on human rights and the environment. The authors look back at the previous EU measures that dealt with the issue of due diligence and sustainable business and point out their shortcomings. They indicate the importance, goals and innovations that the Proposal for the Due Diligence Directive for sustainable business brings. On the other hand, the authors point out certain shortcomings in the Proposal for the Directive, which the EU institutions did not pay enough attention to, and which may cause unwanted effects in practice.
