Devoir de vigilance : les États européens ne doivent pas faire volte-face

The statement warns that a December agreement on the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive is at risk due to lobbying and potential abstention by Germany during the Council of the European Union vote. While the authors view the text as a major step for regulating multinationals, they criticize the exclusion of financial services from its scope and call for the French government to ensure its adoption to protect human rights and the environment.

• The adoption of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive is threatened by lobbying from professional associations and internal government disagreements in Germany, which may lead the country to abstain from the Council of the European Union vote.
• The authors argue that the directive's current form is flawed because it excludes financial services, despite the significant role the financial sector plays in climate change.
