CSDDD: a step change in ESG litigation
With the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), companies within and outside Europe are under increased scrutiny for their environmental and social practices. This directive will impact supply chains and businesses across all sectors, causing a global shift in corporate accountability.
In this webinar, CMS experts will share insights into the litigation risks associated with CSDDD, discuss relevant case studies, and explore proactive strategies for companies to address these challenges.

Global trends in climate litigation
ESG litigation bundles new risks and pre-existing risks. Climate change pressures and the need for companies to become more sustainable are particularly in the spotlight. International and national regulations are increasingly being drawn up in areas such as carbon footprint (emission reduction), market/product communication and financial reporting by companies. Partly as a result hereof, companies are increasingly being legally challenged from various angles on their responsibility with regard to sustainability.
