This is just the beginning. The CSDDD could be a game-changer — but only if we understand its ripple effects. Read the article 👉 www.uni.lu/lcel-en/news... #EUlaw | #CSDDD | #HumanRights

🎤 Gustavo will present his work at the Business & Human Rights Young Researchers Summit.

Even non-EU companies with European HQs in Luxembourg might need to adapt. The #CSDDD could reshape how they monitor risks, and act on them.

🇱🇺 #Luxembourg is home to multinational companies with global supply chains. These are not exempt. They’ll need to assess: ➡️ Where do their raw materials come from? ➡️ Do operations harm people or the planet?

The CSDDD's reach extends beyond the EU. 🌎 In Latin America, suppliers in high-risk sectors like mining, agriculture, and energy face new compliance demands, but also the chance to turn responsible practices into a competitive edge.
