European Parliament passed a historic law, marking a significant step towards holding big companies accountable for harm they cause to people and the planet.

As the EU is a major player on the global economic stage, the implementation of this law has the potential to create a ripple effect that reaches far beyond its borders. Global Witness has been championing this cause from the beginning, pushing for greater corporate responsibility and justice for affected communities. While there are a lot of gaps to fill in the law, the CSDDD will help level the power imbalance between profit-driven companies and the communities they impact.
