Private Law Theory

ABSTRACTWith the rise of expectations regarding corporate sustainability, the regulatory landscape for companies has expanded to encompass both international and national dimensions. This expansion is a response to the far-reaching ecological and social consequences of corporate activities that transcend national boundaries. Notably, the European Union (EU) has also realized this aspect while addressing these global concerns, as evidenced by the formulation of the Corporate Sustainability and Due Diligence Directive (‘CSDDD’ or ‘Directive’). The CSDDD mandates a corporate due diligence obligation applicable to companies both within and outside the EU, with the objective of integrating environmental and human rights considerations throughout the whole corporate supply chain.
