Interview with KPMG Law experts: CSDDD after the omnibus: “Toothless tiger” or pragmatic solution?

The agreement on the Omnibus I package is causing discussion. Among other things, the thresholds for the EU Supply Chain Directive (CSDDD) have been significantly raised. What does this mean for companies? In an interview with Haufe Sustainability, Thomas Uhlig, Partner at KPMG Law, explains the legal implications of the new regulations.

You can find the full text of the interview here.

“Many companies that fall outside the direct scope of application will primarily be relieved as they no longer have any legal obligations. However, they will still be indirectly affected. Companies with customers who are subject to the Supply Chain Directive must expect risk assessments.”
