The significance of the CSDDD lies in its recognition of the vital role businesses play in shaping an equitable future, providing a consistent regulatory framework for this responsibility and creating a level playing field across the EU\u2019s 27 markets. With the CSDDD, the EU is set to serve as a global standard for responsible business conduct.<\/p>\n Businesses have a critical role to play, alongside civil society and governments, in addressing risks in supply chains, responding to new challenges, and navigating a shifting geopolitical landscape. If adopted next month by the European Parliament, the CSDDD would be a significant milestone in our journey towards a more sustainable and equitable corporate world, and we look forward to the positive changes it can bring to the global community.<\/p>\n “}]]\u00a0\u00a0Cisco welcomes the new EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) as a crucial cross-EU tool to strengthen corporate attention to human rights and sustainability.
