SLCP calls for simplification without compromising meaningful HRDD in new Omnibus position paper
Background: On 26 February 2025, the European Commission published the Omnibus Simplification Package I - Simplifying EU rules and boosting competitiveness. The proposal aims to make sustainability reporting more accessible and efficient and simplify due diligence requirements to support responsible business practices, among other objectives. The text introduces significant amendments to the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), including narrowed due diligence obligations and a delayed implementation.
Our position: Last week, SLCP signed a joint statement urging EU policymakers to consider adapting the Omnibus proposal for better risk management and worker and environmental protection. Today, SLCP is sharing our own positioning, reaffirming that simplification of compliance requirements should not just be about efficiency. Rather, it should be about keeping legislation in line with original objectives and avoiding implementation delays. The proposed changes in the Omnibus proposal are deeply concerning to SLCP, and risk leading to further market fragmentation and ongoing legal uncertainty for supply chain actors.
What do we want to see from European policymakers?We are calling on the European Parliament and EU Council to ensure that simplification does not compromise the positive impact the original CSDDD and CSRD would have had on workers in the supply chain.
SLCP facilities join ITC's global network of publicly available sustainability credentials
We’re to share that we have partnered with the International Trade Centre (ITC) to integrate our facility data into the Certified Business Registry (CBR). The CBR enables facilities to be listed on a public database with certified sustainability credentials – making it easier for everyone to meet due diligence requirements, and encouraging new business opportunities to build a more transparent supply chain.
