The Supply Chain Law Initiative has compiled the voices of prominent people who have expressed criticism of the EU Commission’s plans to scrap important aspects of the EU Supply Chain Directive (CSDDD) before it has even come into force:
Dr. Bärbel Kofler, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development:
„Today, in Germany and Europe in particular, we must stand up for our values and a long-term stable and sustainable economic environment. The EU must be a reliable trading partner for people all over the world.“
Archbishop Stephan Burger, Freiburg i.Br.:
„We will do everything in our power to prevent this important progress towards a globally responsible and social market economy from being watered down.“
Dr. Katharina Reuter, the Managing Director of the Federal Association for Sustainable Economy:
„Binding and uniform rules are necessary to ensure that companies’ responsibility does not end on the company premises or with direct suppliers. The EU supply chain regulation starts precisely here, and the economy has invested accordingly. The proposed reversal would be fatal for human rights and environmental protection.“
