ProDESC's perspective on the EU Commission's proposal for a Directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence

'ProDESC's PERSPECTIVE ON THE PUBLICATION OF THE PROPOSAL FOR A DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL ON CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY DUE DILIGENCE', 7 March 2022

  5. SPECIFIC GUIDELINES...
