Joint Statement: Disastrous Omnibus proposal erodes EU’s corporate accountability commitments and slashes human rights and environmental protections.

The publication by the European Commission of its Omnibus proposal revising key corporate sustainability laws sends a clear political signal: President Ursula von der Leyen is deprioritising human rights, workers’ rights and environmental protections for the sake of dangerous deregulation.

The Council and Parliament must urgently show leadership by blocking this damaging
proposal, as it is jeopardising the very objectives of these laws and undermines not only the EU's commitment towards its green ambitions and protection of human rights but also its credibility as a reliable law maker.

ClientEarth and 362 other civil society organisations have signed the letter urging the Council of the EU and the Parliament to ensure that any amendments seeking to weaken the CSDDD are rejected.
