For over three years, European institutions have worked hard to develop and negotiate a groundbreaking EU supply chain law, with the aim of preventing and addressing human rights and environmental harm throughout companies’ supply chains. In mid-December, many celebrated the hard-reached agreement between the EU Council and Parliament on a draft law, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive.
But now, just before getting the law across the finish line, it risks being tripped up by a German government coalition partner, the FDP (Freie Demokratische Partei, or Free Democratic Party).
[Edit typo.]
sadly they pulled down the (arguably incompetent) SPD and the (slightly more competent, but bad at communicating their wins) Green party with them.
this government really could’ve been decent at least. now the nazis are back.
