Corporate due diligence (European Directive)
The European Union approved the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, which requires European companies operating inside or outside Europe to comply with certain parameters regarding human rights. What exactly does this entail?
I'll discuss the topic with Wies Willems.
