HRT No. 5: The EU Omnibus Simplification Initiative and what it means for corporate sustainability practices
In this episode, CHREN postdoctoral researcher Dr Caroline Lichuma guides us through the potential effects - and fall-out - of the "EU Omnibus Simplification Initiative" recently proposed by the European Commission. While the names of the EU directives concerned might sound deterring, do not fear: Carol manages to explain the what’s what in a very comprehensible, even entertaining manner. This way, we get to learn a lot about the progress and regress in the EU's struggle for better corporate sustainability.
Carol's research critically analyses regulatory developments in Business and Human Rights, with a particular focus on how mandatory human rights due diligence laws such as the German Lieferkettengesetz (LkSG) and the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) impact Global South stakeholders.
