Delighted by the resounding majority in favour of corporate Due Diligence in the @EP_Legal vote ! This is a huge step towards a European law that will make clear that doing business in the 21st century means doing business responsibly. Next step ➡️ Plenary on 1 June
Doing audits every two years for all suppliers/contractors regardless of the risk is contrary to the risk mgt approach of the directive. At internatl company cna have 1000 waste vendors alone. Under the Directive they may also have to audit alternate vendors that present less risk (or when vendor refuses to cooperate with poreventive plans, etc.). Audit intervals should be based on risk.
@larawoltersEU @EP_Legal Why is the EU being perceived as colonialism in just another form outside EU? We try to rule the world by a set of rules that we impose on the world, that are impossible to enforce without huge unwanted side effects like cost, corruption et cetera. Not effective nor wise.
@larawoltersEU @EP_Legal Congratulations Lara and team 👏
@larawoltersEU @EP_Legal Appreciate your great engagement for responsible business conduct! Thank you!
@larawoltersEU @EP_Legal Great stuff! Hope you are able to hold the line for plenary (and trilogies). Proficiat!
@larawoltersEU @EP_Legal Wow- congratulations. This is a historic moment.
@larawoltersEU @EP_Legal Congratulations! Great news. As Europe - & the rest of the world - race to secure critical metals for the green transition, such horizontal rules to avoid human rights and environmental harm in supply chains are crucial. This is the basis of a globally just supply chain.@transenv
