Lettre ouverte à l’adresse de M. Stéphane Séjourné

A group of French environmental and human rights organizations warns that the European Commission's proposed 'Omnibus' legislation threatens to undermine the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) by limiting corporate vigilance to direct partners, removing mandatory climate transition plans, and rolling back civil liability for failures.

• The proposed 'Omnibus' legislation aims to simplify several EU frameworks, including the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, the EU Taxonomy, and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.
• Civil society organizations claim the 'Omnibus' proposal was drafted with haste and opacity, and would specifically weaken the due diligence directive by restricting vigilance to direct partners, eliminating the requirement for climate transition plans, and removing the obligation for civil liability in cases of non-compliance.
• The document references the Draghi report to argue that 80% of the funds required for the economic transition must come from the private sector, which necessitates maintaining the current regulatory framework to ensure investments align with carbon neutrality goals.
