EU Omnibus: Bringing changes to EU sustainability legislation 

26 February 2025 marked the new tone in which the current European Commission – especially President von der Leyen and her Cabinet – is set to address corporate sustainability legislation over the next five years. Two years after the adoption of the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and a few months after the publication of the Corporate Sustainability and Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) in the Official Journal of the European Union, the Commission proposes a series of amendments aimed at simplifying reporting requirements and addressing the excessive administrative burden that these two Directives imposed on companies.
