RT @MaryLawlorhrds: Very encouraging: "In identifying, preventing, prioritising and remedying those risks, companies shall continually engage with affected stakeholders. Such stakeholders can be victims, but also trade unions, NGOs and human rights defenders." Congratulations @larawoltersEU

With this deal companies will have to do business responsibly, across the EU and beyond. Next week @EP_Legal will vote on the agreement. When approved, full steam ahead to the vote in plenary!

Contrary to the Council, we have a strong set of sanctions in our deal. When companies do no conduct due diligence properly, they can e.g. face fines or a product can be taken from the market until a company takes action.

Directors also need to take responsibility for overseeing due diligence, and bonuses should be tied to their efforts

In the agreement, we set a great step towards genuine action by companies on the climate crisis. Companies need to introduce ambitious climate plans, in line with the Paris Climate agreement, including Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.

No more impunity - our deal makes companies liable for not doing due diligence properly, which means they have caused or contributed to a harm they could have avoided. We guarantee measures to redress the balance in victims’ favour.

Companies must remediate any harm in full dialogue with those affected, including compensation or rehabilitation. This is a core part of the international guidelines and completely missing from the Commission proposal.

Companies will need to have in place a due diligence policy. When a company finds a potential human rights or environmental risk, it should take measures accordingly to prevent or end impacts.

Throughout their value chain, both upstream and downstream, companies are expected to address adverse impacts on human rights and the environment - including climate and corruption.

Last night we reached a deal in @EP_Legal on the due diligence directive. This is a huge step forward to a European law that will make companies conduct business responsibly. But what is in the deal? 🧵

De volgende stap is dat het Parlement eind mei stemt over dit politieke akkoord. Bij goedkeuring ga ik vanaf de zomermaanden onderhandelen met de lidstaten. Een Europese anti-uitbuitingswet komt nu eindelijk in zicht!

Groen en sociaal ondernemen is straks de standaard. En ook belangrijk: met dit akkoord kunnen gedupeerden waar ook ter wereld makkelijker hun recht halen.

Een belangrijk onderdeel van ons akkoord: bedrijven moeten een transitieplan opstellen voor het behalen van de klimaatdoelen. De CEO kan in zijn bonus gekort worden als het bedrijf geen actie onderneemt.

In ons akkoord worden bedrijven verplicht misstanden in hun keten tegen te gaan. Dat betekent: ervoor zorgen dat uitbuiting van werknemers niet plaatsvindt, milieuvervuiling niet voorkomt en naar de zorgen van lokale inwoners luisteren.

Mooi nieuws, in het Europees Parlement hebben we een akkoord over de Europese anti-uitbuitingswet! Met dit politieke akkoord komt Europese regelgeving voor verantwoord ondernemen een heel stuk dichterbij.
