Final push for the EU’s corporate due diligence law with compromises

On this episode of our daily podcast Today in the EU, we’re diving into the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive – or CSDDD – as legislators gear up for a key vote Friday (15 March), the last push to get it over the line.
