Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

2:00 am

Mr. Neil Willoughby:

I will just clarify that the proposal in the omnibus is more or less to align the scopes of the CSDDD and the CSRD, so it would apply to roughly the same number of companies and, again to stress the point, directly. Indirectly, in order for companies to comply with the CSRD, they have to go to their suppliers to get adequate information. As already mentioned, that is incredibly detailed. Many data points have to be gone through. They have to go to the companies to get those and they have to go to their suppliers. It is a huge piece, so I think 0.05% application is true when you talk about direct. In terms of having to work with the legislation, however, it is not correct.
