Linklaters Italy ESG GEMS - April 2024

Welcome to the latest edition of our ESG GEMS.

In this issue, we celebrate a milestone in corporate accountability as the European Parliament grants final approval to the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD or CS3D) on 24 April 2024.

As we navigate these transformative times, we also turn our attention to the development of the EU Green Claims Directive and the completion of the EU Banking Package on the horizon.

Lastly, we discuss the European Parliament's final approval of the "Forced Labour Regulation", a landmark decision that bans products made with forced labour from the EU market.
