The EU CSDDD is on its way. Will your business be ready?⁠
Join our TDi masterclass webinar to prepare for this critical legislation.⁠

Proposed by the European Commission, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) is an instrumental piece of legislation aimed at compelling both domestic and international companies operating within the European Union to take accountability for their environmental and social impacts, inclusive of those generated by their supply chains. This directive will mandate these corporations to identify, mitigate, and prevent both actual and prospective repercussions of their operations on human rights abuses and the environment.⁠

Moreover, the CSDDD will necessitate companies to carry out thorough due diligence throughout their entire value chain. This includes the actions of their subsidiaries and any other entities within their value chain with which they are directly or indirectly engaged in business relationships.⁠

TDi Sustainability is in a unique position to help clients adapt to the variety of upcoming legislations, including the CSDDD.⁠

In this masterclass webinar, we’ll be discussing: ⁠
🟡 Who will be impacted by the EU CSDDD;⁠
🟡 The requirements expected to be imposed; ⁠
🟡 What businesses will need to do in order to remain compliant;⁠
🟡 How to go about creating a robust due diligence plan.⁠

You should attend this webinar is you want to:⁠
🟡 Stay ahead of the curve to ensure your business is well-prepared for the future;⁠
🟡 Mitigate the risks of non-compliance with impending new legislation;⁠
🟡 Demonstrate your organisation’s long-term commitment to responsible business practices.⁠

This webinar is free to attend.⁠
Join us on Wednesday 23 August 2023 at 3pm BST.⁠

Presented by TDi experts:⁠
🟡 James Hollins, Senior Sustainability and Responsible Sourcing, ESG Standards Audit Manager at TDi Sustainability⁠
🟡 Elizabeth Arnott, Senior Analyst at TDi Sustainability⁠

A moment to look back and take stock of an important trip made last week by our CEO, Assheton Stewart Carter, and the team of TDi Sustainability delegates who ventured to KAUST in Saudi Arabia to attend the the Global Sustainable Development Congress (GSDC).⁠

The team generously invited Assheton to deliver a keynote speech at the Congress, where he emphasised higher education and cross-sector collaboration's critical role in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 🌍⁠

In his address, Assheton called for a shift from a reductionist approach to a more holistic one in problem-solving and explained how we could tackle the complex, systemic issues that underpin sustainability challenges by embracing radical collaboration among different sectors and organisations. 🌱⁠

Read more about Assheton's insights and the GSDC experience through the link in our bio now.⁠
