Shell sued for climate by @milieudefensie.bsky.social for the second time. The appeal court in case one has already ruled that companies have independent climate obligations, regardless of what governments do. Shell as a country: top 5 emitters globally. Net-zero plan: none.

Less regulation, more risk? The EU's Omnibus I changes to #CSDDD may weaken due diligence — but investor and ESG expectations aren't going away. 🗓 27 May | ⏰ 14:00 CET / 15:00 EET | 💻 Zoom 👉 forms.gle/EhGdEgmdJnJw7cu16 Webinar is supported by ECCJ @eccjorg.bsky.social

In joint work with five renowned institutions, we recommend simplified ESRS for large companies that voluntarily report ESG. After CSRD changes (2025), fewer firms are obliged—ESRS offers clarity, EU alignment & global consistency. VSME is not fit for large entities. 👉https://tinyurl.com/26nnu87h

The #CSDDD lost ground on #OECDGuidelines alignment after the Omnibus amendments — but gaps can still be closed through national transposition, EC guidance, and the 2031 review. Full analysis by @oecdwatch.bsky.social 👇 #DueDiligence #BusinessAndHumanRights

New paper: alignment between the EU’s amended #CSDDD and the #OECDGuidelines has weakened - but opportunities remain to close the gaps. Our latest paper highlights 3 key entry points: 🔶 National transposition 🔶 European Commission guidance 🔶 Future EU review 🔗 www.oecdwatch.org/updated-alig...

We wish you a Merry Christmas—a time to slow down and reflect on what truly matters. May the New Year bring greater peace, understanding, and responsible decision-making.

🌍 10 December is International Human Rights Day. In 1948, the UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, affirming that every person has equal dignity, freedoms and rights – regardless of where they were born, which passport they hold or what they believe. #HumanRightsDay

BREAKING: The EU watchdog just replied to our complaints. And she stands with us. She has found that the @ec.europa.eu committed maladministration when it prepared its Omnibus I and 2024 CAP proposals to roll back key environmental protections. Here are the findings:⬇️

🚨 NEW joint statement It's time: the EU’s credibility on human rights & climate is on the line. Ahead of the #Omnibus I vote, 140+ EU & non-EU CSOs urge MEPs to back a strong, fair deal that protects workers, communities & our planet, not corporate interests. corporatejustice.org/publications...

🟦 Today, the European Parliament will decide whether the #Omnibus package truly protects human rights and the environment. 👀 If you want to see for yourself whether the EP still stands for European values, you can watch the session live. 🔗 bit.ly/3GFlGgX #CSDDD #CSRD #Omnibus #EU #HumanRights

PRESS RELEASE EU Commission’s Omnibus proposal is full-scale deregulation designed to dismantle corporate accountability - ECCJ

corporatejustice.org

📢 The EU is abandoning corporate accountability – we must not let this happen! PIHBR joined over 360 organizations in signing a statement opposing the Omnibus proposal, which weakens key EU sustainability laws. We urge the EU Council & Parliament to reject this harmful deregulation!

Silent Discrimination Against Women – Not Just on March 8 In Europe, gender equality is increasingly dismissed as “ideology,” while women’s rights become a political battleground. 🚨 Silence should not mean acceptance. We must speak up before “equality” becomes another empty slogan.
