devoir de vigilance européen lettre a emmanuel macron
Summary
The document is an open letter to President Emmanuel Macron from a coalition of climate and human rights organizations. The authors warn that the 'Omnibus I' proposal in the European Parliament is undermining the European due diligence directive. They highlight a conflicting letter sent to the President by 46 companies, including TotalEnergies and Siemens AG, which called for the 'abrogation' of the CSDDD. The signatories argue that France, as a pioneer of corporate duty of vigilance and a signatory of the Paris Agreement, must ensure multinationals are required to identify, prevent, and remedy social, environmental, and climate impacts. They further claim that deregulation efforts are influenced by US interests, specifically ExxonMobil and President Trump, and align with the agenda of the French far-right.
