CSDDD : la France prône un report indéfini au détriment de la justice sociale et environnementale

A coalition of NGOs and unions, including Reclaim Finance, condemns the French government's reported plan to advocate for the indefinite postponement of the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and the raising of its application thresholds. The authors argue that these moves, aligned with business lobby interests, would exclude nearly 70% of targeted companies and undermine European climate and social justice goals.

• The French government, through Minister of Economy Eric Lombard, reportedly intends to propose an indefinite suspension of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and a broader deregulation agenda in Brussels.
• France is allegedly seeking to increase application thresholds for the directive and remove clauses that would allow for the specific regulation of financial actors' activities.
• The French government's position is described as being aligned with the demands of business organizations such as AFEP and Business Europe, and is viewed as incompatible with European climate objectives for 2040.
